"Death takes the loved one from our homes, but never from our hearts"
ARMSTRONG, David
ARNOLD, Reginald Joseph
The Advocate Friday Jan 3 1919
PENGUIN.
Soldiers' Return. -On Monday evening, Sapper Jos. Ashwood, of the Pioneer Tunnelling Corps, returned from active service after nearly three years' service. An official welcome on behalf of the municipality was extended by the Warden (Cr. ?. H. Fielding), who eulogised Sapper Ashwood for the splendid example shown, and wished him, on behalf of residents of the municipality, every happiness in the future. Mr. W.C. Stuart extended a welcome on behalf of the Red Cross and Patriotic League, and congratulated Sapper Ashwood on his return to his wife and family. Prior to enlistment, the sapper was ganger on the Government railways, having relinquished a good position to fight for the nation's honor. After cheers had been given, Sapper Ashwood with his family was motored home. Another soldier to recently, return was Pte. H. Roy Hall, who, owing to the non- receipt of any advice of his return, was not welcomed in the usual way, but whose actions are none the less appreciated.
