Chronicle 13th July 1918
Private CHARLES EDWIN MOLD, who has been killed in action, was the third son of Mr. and Mrs E. J. Mold, of Gawler, and was, prior to enlistment, a mechanic in the employ of Messrs. May Bros. & Co. He enlisted late last year, and in December left Adelaide for overseas, and he entered the lines in France on May 2. His period of fighting was short, for he was killed on June 20. He was only 27 years of age, and was of bright and cheerful disposition. He was born in Gawler, and had his education in the town. As a youth he was associated with the ambulance classes, and was a player in the Gawler South football team. Later, he displayed marked ability on the piano, and his readiness to assist in this direction was constantly sought after. The Foresters' and R.A.O.B. found him a valued member. He was also a member of S. George's Church. Much regret was felt on receipt of the news of his death. |
