WIA 5th April 1918 (Bomb wound, chest). Private White was taken to 13th Field Ambulance where he died of his wounds that day.
Page 229 of Neville Brownings book "Leane's Battalion" states the following " as they marched along the Amiens to Albert road, a shell exploded amongst the column and killed Sergeant M.H. Macloy and Private N. Oma and wounded Privates S. W. Howells and H. M. Martin. Tentative roll calls revealed that CQMS F. A. Rochow, Corporal D. O. Rogers , Lance Corporals A. C. MacKenzies and J. Scott and Privates W. R. Baker, E. Blackman, S. H. Chandler, B. E. Chellew, H. M. Drummond, M. S. McCombe, T. McGowan, P. O'Sullivan, S. R. Tudor and C. J. White had also been killed during the battle."
Cecil Johnson White was a local identity of Renmark in South Australia and amongst his talents is mention of his artistic ability. With this group comes a beautiful original characterture of "The flag Lieutenant" (signed C.J.W) of which we presume is from his embarkation. Also with his original AIF booklet of his Grave, a photo of him and a single collar badge.
An impressive and emotive grouping.;

Pair: Crimea Medal three clasps "ALMA, INKERMANN & SEBASTOPOL" and China Medal 1857. Crimea period engraved T. EWEN 8TH COY R*S*M, China Medal impressed CORPL THOS EWEN. 23RD C. ROYAL ENGRS.
This pair is ex a very old Australian collection and thanks to the modern ability to research has turned into a great story of Crimean heroism. In a NSW newspaper article dated 14th July 1900 we have found a brief article on the Victoria Cross that Sapper Ewen "never wore, though he won."
The official history mentions Sapper Ewens bravery on a number of occasions including along side Colour Sgt Henry McDonald when he earns his Victoria Cross. It is interesting to note that years after the event General Gordon (of Khartoum fame) was still campaigning to have Ewen recognized for his gallantry.
