Gosford Times 8th October 1915 Another Wyong Soldier Killed PRIVATE L. J. D. FOWLER Private L J D (D’arcy) Fowler (killed) was a licensed surveyor under the New South Wales Government, and youngest son of Mr Henry C Fowler, surveyor, of Wyong (Late of Exeter). Her received seven years training for his profession with his father, principally in the Australian bush throughout the Warialda, Colare-nebri, and Bourke districts. He recently secured his certificate as a licensed surveyor when he received the appointment of his father’s position as one of the survey staff of the Western Land Board. When the Empire called he put aside the brightest prospects of a successful career, and proceeded to the Dardanelles as a private. The deceased soldier was born at Petersham, was 28 years of age and was educated at Bowral, and Exeter, and had private tuition in Sydney. He survived his mother by just two years, and leaves two brothers (Roy and Richard), also tow sisters- Eileen (Mrs O J Moore, of Bourke), and Kathleen (Mrs A B Francis, of Carlingford). His brother Richard has enlisted with a view of entering the flying corps. Private Fowler was an expert bushman and a keen lawn tennis enthusiast.
