5.The Braidwood Review and District Advocate 26.06.1945: Private Owen McFadzen, news of whose death was received some weeks ago, was the elder son of Mr. and Mrs. A. McFadzen, of Rutledge Street, Bungendore. He was 25 years of age, and had seven years' military service. At the time of his enlistment with the A.I .F he was a member of the Permanent Forces at Duntroon and had served there for a period of three and a half years. In 1942 he sailed with the Sixth Division, 2/1 Battalion, for the Middle East. After service there and following his return to Australia, he was sent to New Guinea, where his company was in the first push over the Owen Stanley Range. Stricken with malaria and placed on the seriously ill list, he was flown from the field hospital to Port Mores by Military Hospital, and later was a patient at Redbank (Q.), Yaralla Inglebum and the 114lh AGH, Goulburn. Throughout his illness he never complained, but bore it all as part of a soldier's life, and as soon as he was sufficiently recovered he embarked a third time. This was in November, 1944. He volunteered for the dangerous work of despatch carrier. and was serving in the capacity of senior despatch carrier somewhere between Wewak and Aitape when he was fatally wounded by shrapnel from a Japanese mortar bomb. In a letter to Pte. McFadzen's parents, Captain C. J. Prior, with whom Owen had I served for four years, said that he was Ia loyal and efficient soldier whose I devotion to duty won the respect and affection of the whole company. Several of his mates have also written testifying to the esteem in which hell was held and to his splendid servlce carried but in the best tradition of the Australian Army. Besides his parents, Pte. McFadzen Is survived by his three sisters, Loma (Mrs. IC. Bladen, Captalns Flat), Joan and Beverley, and one brother, John, of Bungendore.— 'Age.'
