Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Son of Arthur and Mary Ladlow, of Springvale, Victoria, Australia.

LADLOW - In loving memory of Able Seaman Arthur Ladlow, who lost his life on minesweeper H.M.A.S. Goorangai on November 20, 1940

One years has passed since that sad day

When one we loved was called away;

It is only those who have lost can tell

The sorrow at parting without farewell.

- Inserted by his parents, sisters and brother.
