Dungog Chronicle - Durham & Gloucester Advertiser 13-8-1918
Mrs. Chas Robertson, Dungog has received word that her brother, John Langworthy, a munition worker, has died of illness. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Langworthy, of Auburn, and left Australia some twelve months ago. He endeavoured to enlist three times, but failed, and being determined to go over, volunteered as a munition worker. Soon after arrival in England he volunteered to go to France and work in the factories there. He returned to England later, where he died. The first news of his illness was received by the family a couple of months ago in a letter from his brother, who is on service in France. The next news was that of his death. Deceased was only 21 years of age. Deepest sympathy is felt for the bereaved family. |
