Death Of Mr. James Scobie
p. 23 · Read in the full issue
MR. JAMES SCOBIE, who was well known before the war, on the Morobe goldfield, in New Guinea, where he was connected with the Black Cat Mine, died in the Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, on January 21, aged 67. He served on “the small ships” in the waters north of Australia during the war, but his health by then had broken, and he did not return to the Territory.
As a veteran, he took a keen interest in the affairs of the Returned Soldiers League, and he was a foundation member of the organisation which is establishing an RSL Club at Milsons Point. RSL men were strongly represented at the funeral on January 23.
