PRIVATE LEWIS NORMAN SHEPHERD
AUSTRALIAN INFANTRY
8TH AUGUST 1916 AGE 23
BURIED: PUCHEVILLERS BRITISH CEMETERY, FRANCE
This is such a wonderful inscription: tender, proud and direct. It gives us a vivid image of this red-headed, well built, twenty-one-year-old butcher from Penguin in Tasmania who died of wounds at a Casualty Clearing Station in Puchevillers. Lewis Shepherd's brother, Ernest Victor Shepherd, was killed in action at Armentieres five months later on 2 January 1917.
