CLIFTON AUSTRALIAN MISSING
Many Clifton friends will regret to hear that Private William Bramwell of the Australian Imperial Force, has been reported missing since August 8th. Until he went to Australia about five years ago he lived at 3 Rake Lane, Clifton. In January of this year his patriotic spirit led him to join one of the Australian contingents, and shortly afterwards he sailed for Egypt. He had expected a short leave home, but was disappointed, being drafted from Egypt to France, and had only been there a few weeks when he failed to answer the roll call after an engagement. The last message his parents was a field card written on August 4th. He is 25 years of age and before leaving England was employed as a carpenter at the Newtown Colliery
