Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Son of Robert ROWE and Janet Rewa nee INGLIS

Rowe received a serious gun shot wound to the left side and a Funeral notice from family members refers to his being "gassed". It would appear that he died in a Perth Hospital, Western Australia but had been resident in Wooroloo, possibly at the sanatorium.
