THE LATE PRIVATE HARWOOD.
Private D. F. Harwood, of the 3rd Reinforcements, 27th Battalion, A.I.F., who is reported as having been killed in action in the Dardanelles, was only 22 years of age.
He was born at East Dulwich, South London, and arrived in South Australia about five years ago. At the time of his enlistment he was in the employ of the Supply and Tender Board, Port Adelaide. He left a widow and one boy, aged 15 months. Private Harwood was the third son of Mr. and Mrs. Harwood, who reside at Morton, in Surrey, England. The deceased soldier was a member of Manchester Unity, Oddfellows, and his musical talents were often availed of.
Of his relatives Private Harwood was the 28th to enlist. Recently, while fighting in France, his eldest brother was among four volunteers who offered to undertake some dangerous duty, and for that action was decorated with the "French Legion of Honor." Unfortunately at a subsequent date he was killed in action.
