PERSONAL EFFECTS WILL CORRESPONDENCE REMARKS

Post Mortem report included

Forbes Advocate Tuesday January 18th 1916. P.2. PRINTED IN GERMANY Mr R.J. Baker has a complaint to make in his paper the Gosford â&#x20AC;&#x153;Timesâ&#x20AC;?. The wife of the editor of this paper, whose brother (Sergeant F. E. Black of Forbes) met his death at the war, received a number of condolence cards. On the majority of them was printed the fact that the cards had been printed in Germany and Austria, another instance of the thoroughness of the Hun and his ally. They not only kill our boys, but have supplied Australia with sympathy cards that can be sent to bereaved relatives in their hour of trial and sorrow.
