Sudden Death Of Mr.

Jack Turner

ALL residents of Papua—especially of the Samarai end—will learn with deep regret of the death on April 29, at Lismore, of Mr. Jack Turner, who had lived for over 30 years in Papua, mostly in the service of Burns, Philp &' Co., Ltd. He was evacuated from Samarai— where he was one of the town’s most highly esteemed residents—just before the Japanese bombed the place; and he went to Lismore, to a position in the service of Pennys, Limited (a company

associated with Burns, Philp & Co.).

He had been there only a few weeks when he became ill, and he died at'his home shortly afterwards. He was born in England 59 years ago.

Mr. Turner is survived by his wife and one son, Harold. The latter enlisted early in the AIF. He was wounded at Bardia, and now is believed to be with the Aus tralians in the Middle East.
