Private Lawrence LovickPrint Page 
The brass plaque commemorates Private Lawrence L. Lovick who died of wounds in May 1918 during World War One.
Born in Macclesfield, Lawrence was a 21 year old Draper’s Assistant when he enlisted on 14 August 1916. His parents were Mr J. L. Lovick and Mrs Mary Lovick of Strathalbyn. He saw action in France from March 1917 but was hospitalised in June suffering from gas poisoning. Returning again to the field, he died from wounds received on 26 May 1918. At first he was buried at the Vaux-sur-Somme Communal Cemetery but later his remains were exhumed and re-interred at the Villers Brettoneux Military Cemetery.
An opportunity will be given the friends and relatives of three of our boys who made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War to publicly show their respect for their memories by being present at a special service at Christ Church on Sunday evening, August 10, when the rector (Chaplain T. Percy Wood) will unveil and dedicate brass tablets to the lasting memory of Ptes. P. and E. Clark and L. Lovick. Returned men, whether members of the R.S.A. or not are asked to mark their appreciation of their comrades devotion to duty by taking part in a parade at the railway station gates at 3.30 sharp, whence they will march to the. church, headed by the Strathalbyn Brass Band.
