Lance Corporal Henric NicholasPrint Page
A font commemorates Henric Nicholas who was killed in action at El Romani in August 1916 during World War One. The top of the font is an intricate wooden carving.
On Friday, at St John Baptist Church Ouse, a memorial service was held for the late Lance Corporal Henric Clarence Nicholas, who gave his life for his country in Egypt early last month. The service was conducted by the Bishop of Tasmania, assisted by the Rev A E Hutchinson rector of the parish. The church, which was suitably draped was overcrowded by a congregation consisting of the family and friends of the gallant soldier of whom it may be truly said that he was beloved by all who knew him. The congregation was represented by every class and creed, many having travelled long distances to show, in the only way open to them, their genuine sorrow, their affection and esteem for the dead soldier. The service ended with the "Dead March in Saul" played by Mrs Morgan during which the pall, laden with flowers was held by four soldiers, comrades of the deceased.
