From Gary Mitchell, Sandgate Cemetery
102 years ago today, on the Monday afternoon of the 9th December 1918, Driver Stanley Krempin, 3rd Australian Divisional Ammunition Sub-Park (Reg No-7819), motor engineer (Morison & Bearby Limited), of Blackall Street, Hamilton, New South Wales and Russell Road, New Lambton N.S.W. and "Osterley", Junction Street, The Junction, N.S.W., father of one (Joyce), was laid to rest with a military funeral at Sandgate Cemetery, age 23. ANGLICAN 1-08. 11.
Born at Hamilton, New South Wales on the 28th December 1894 to Frederick William and Edith Mary Krempin; husband of Mavis L Krempin nee Evans (married 30.3.1918, Hamilton, N.S.W., died?), Stanley enlisted September 1915 with the 8th Australian Army Service Corps, 17th Divisional Ammunition Park at Sydney, N.S.W.
Admitted to hospital 27.2.1917 (VDH, means valvular disease of the heart, slight), Stanley was invalided home September 1917, being discharged medically unfit on the 9th October 1917.
Mr Krempin’s name has been inscribed on the Hamilton Superior Public School Roll of Honor (photo, unveiled on the 23th May 1918, 372 names now inscribed, 36 fallen), Hamilton Municipal District Roll of Honor, Hamilton St. Peter's Anglican Church Honor Roll and the Hamilton (Gregson Park) War Memorial. Name not inscribed on the Morison & Bearby Limited Roll of Honour. Member of U.G.L. of N.S.W. Lodge Fidelity, No. 163 and City of Newcastle Lodge of Mark Master Masons, No. 15.
There is no indication inscribed on the headstone that Stanley served with the 1st A.I.F., so I have placed poppies and a 1914-1918 WAR label in remembrance of his sacrifice for God, King and Country.
Not listed on the Australian Roll of Honour.
