THE LATE PRIVATE E. W. TANGEY.
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Tangey have received full information in regard to their son, Private E. W. Tangey. who was killed in action in the battle of Pozieres on July 29 1916. Private C. Sanderson, a returned soldier, who is now in the Caulfield Hospital, and who was a tent mate of Private Tangey, writes that he and Tangey went into the battle of the Somme together.
Tangey, along with some mates, went to take some tea and rations. On the way up he was caught by a bit of shell and killed. I deeply regret his death as he was one of the best. Correspondence from Mr. Graham Kiddle, hon. secretary of the Red Cross Society, Melbourne, states that Private Tangey was killed by a shell instantly, and was buried in a shell hole in a wood near Pozieres.

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Military: ww1 killed in action, 1914-1918.
