Add my storyBiography
"MRS. MINNIE BAYLEY has received an official message, stating that her eldest son, Olaf, who for two years was yeoman signaller on H.M.A.S. Melbourne, has died in London of cerebral meningitis. He was a grandson of the late Mr. C. H. Ohlfsen-Bagge, who for many years was engineer-in-chief of the Sydney Water and Sewerage Board. He was 23 years of age. Mrs. Bayley has also been informed that her second and only surviving son, Keith, has been wounded in France. Lieut. Keith Bayley left Sydney last December, he and his brother (who were educated at the Church of England Grammar School, North Sydney) both took part in the New Guinea campaign." - from the Sydney Mail 16 May 1917 (nla.gov.au)
