Mrs. A. W. Wyatt, of Bagot-street, West Thebarton, has been notified that her brother, Private J. Carter, 12th Battalion, fifth son of the late Mr. John Carter, of Fifth-street, Bowden, who was previously reported missing, was killed in action at Gallipoli between April 25 and April 28, 1915. He was 29 years of age when he enlisted at the outbreak of war. Prior to enlisting he was for several years employed by the Walkerville Co-operative Brewing Company at Southwark. He was of a bright and cheerful disposition, and was loved by all who knew him. Two younger brothers (Private A. Carter and Private H. Carter) are fighting in France." - from the Adelaide Chronicle 25 Nov 1916 (nla.gov.au)
