Details

BiographyFrederick Gartung enlisted on 15 January 1916 and he was said to have drowned after falling into a trench full of water shortly before the Battalion went into action.

He enlisted aged 15 "and had not long left school, but his ardour to serve his country at such a tender age was the cause of others enlisting".

He was the brother of Fedor Gartung, who died in the war and Leopold who survived the war.Age16Date of Death3 November 1916Civil employmentOrchardistEducatedGalston Public School, NSW Last edited by: Neil Chippendale
