Gosford Times 8th November 1917 HONOR LIST â&#x20AC;Ś Sergeant Phil. S. Shubert, aged 23 years, third eldest son of Mr Joseph Schubert, of Gosford, was killed in action in France on 13 th October. He enlisted in January, 1915, and went to England in April the same year. While in camp at Salisbury Plains he was operated upon for a rupture, and was subsequently engaged on the Instructional Staff. He was only in action about a fortnight when he was killed. One of his brothers, Cecil, went into camp at Liverpool some months ago.

Gosford Times 25th April 1918 One of Our Hero Lads. Mr J. Schubert, of Gosford, has just received the following letter from France, dated 1 st February:- On behalf of the officers, N.C.O.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and men of the Battalion, I would like to express our sincere sympathy in the loss of your very gallant son, Sergeant Phillip Schubert, who made the supreme sacrifice in the third battle of Ypes for the Heights of Passchendaele on October 13, 1917. The attack was made under the very worst climatic conditions, and it was entirely due to superb determination and bravery of men like your son that the operation was a success. Sympathy is difficult to express on paper, but we would like you to feel how greatly we appreciated your son as a comrade and a soldier. Such men the Regiment and nation as a whole can ill afford to lose. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Yours sincerely, W. LERVY FRY, MAJOR, 34TH Battalion.
