HEROES OF THE DARDANELLES. PERSONAL NOTES.
TOOWOOMBA, October l8.
To-day Mr. A. Richards, proprietor of the White Horse Hotel, Ruthven-street, received advice from the Defence Department that his nephew, Sergeant Signaller A. Richards, of the Australian Light Horse, had been killed in action at the Dardanelles. The deceased, who enlisted from North Queensland was just 20 years of age, and was of fine physique. His parents died some time ago, and he was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. A. Richards, of the White Horse Hotel, Toowoomba. A sad feature was the fact that only last week Mrs. Richards recelved some beautiful Egyptian worked silk from him, which he sent before he left for the trenches.' from The Brisbane Courier 20 Oct 1915 (nla.gov.au)
