Pte. Charles Clement "Clem" Cavanagh

Australian Army 42nd Btn.

from:Gympie, Queensland

(d.7th June 1917)

Fifth of Edward James and Sarah Cavanagh's eleven children, Charles Clement Cavanagh enlisted after his brother, Matther Bernard Cavanagh, returned from basic training in Enoggera, Queensland, paralysed on one side of his body after contracting meningitis in the camp.

Clem Cavanagh departed Australia on HMAT "Marathon" at the end of October 1916. He died in the Battle of Messines on 7th June 1917.

I have recorded his story in "Private Charles Clement Cavanagh and his Cousins in the Great War" - booklet of just under 100 pages. Copies have been lodged with SLQ and NAA.
