Chronicle (Adelaide, S.A.) 12-5-1917
THE LATE SERGEANT-MAJOR L. McQUEEN.
News has been received stating that Sergeant-Major Lachlan (Les) McQueen was killed in action in France on April 2. He was bom near Inverness, and came to Adelaide about four years ago. He was in the employ of Griffiths Brothers. Enlisting in the A.I.F. in August,1915, he took a great interest in his duties, and his promotion was rapid. Early in 1916 he was made staff sergeant-major at Mitcham camp, and performed the duties for several months. He re-joined the A.I.F. in June, and sailed early in July with the 3rd Reinforcements, 50th Battalion. After his arrival in England he had a severe attack of influenza, and was a few weeks in hospital. On recovery he was sent to France. He was twenty-two years of age, and the youngest of five brothers, two of whom are still fighting in France and one in Sulonika. His only sister is serving as a nurse. Much sympathy
is felt for his young widow.
