Sergeant Robert A NalderPrint Page
The marble tablet commemorates Sergeant Robert A. Nalder who died of illness during World War One.
Word was received here on Friday last by Rev. A. W. Coates, from the Defence Authorities, of the death of Sergeant R. A. Nalder, youngest son of the late Mr. W. H. Nalder, Kempsey, and of Mrs. Nalder, Guyra. Death was due to pneumonia, and occurred on 16th July on board the transport Ceramic, bound for Egypt, three weeks after leaving Sydney. The young officer was 19 years of age, and a studentat Fort-street High School, Sydney, and was the first Fortian to join the colors. A promising life has thus prematurely passed away, but the bereaved friends have the melancholy satisfaction of knowing it was yielded in the noble endeavour to serve King and country.
Guyra Argus (NSW), 12 August 1915.
