"A MISSING CORPORAL.

From R. C. Bell, Parade, Norwood:— "Regarding the report in the biographical column of The Register of No. 334 Cpl. W. G. Bell, D Company, 16th Infantry, 4th Brigade, who was reported as being wounded on May 2 - the reports concerning my brother have been very conflicting, and I thought there was a possibility that some of the returned 16th would be able to enlighten us, as they were with the Western Australians. The latest information we have received is from a Miss Elliott, of Perth, and formerly of Norwood. She wrote to her brother, who was in the same company. His reply was that my brother was wounded, and that they were at the beach waiting to go aboard the hospital ships; also that my brother was sent to Malta, and he expected to see him when he returned to duty, but had since lost all trace of him. As I understand that there are many Australians in England suffering from nerves, there is a possibility of something like that having occurred to my brother, as he had a nervous breakdown in Kalgoorlie about five years ago. We. have written to the defence authorities several times, and it seems as though they cannot trace him." - from the Adelaide Register 31 Dec 1915 (nla.gov.au)

He was a prefect, captain of the sports' team in 1912-13-14, College Cup winner in 1912, champion gymnast in 1913, and played in the football team in 1914. At the beginning of 1915 he joined the staff at P.A.C. His frank, manly bearing, enabled him to establish himself at once as a teacher of great promise. At the end of the first term he joined the Army Medical Corps, with which he went to Egypt. After he had served for some time with the troops guarding the Suez Canal, Capt. Blake was instrumental in getting him transferred to the 27th Battalion. In a letter recently received by one of his former pupils he hinted at the probability of his being engaged in work involving great risk. The details of the events that led to his being mentioned in despatches for conspicuous bravery in helping wounded comrades under fire reveal the nature of this work and the splendid courage with which he faced it.
