URL4: DEATH OF MR. CHARLES SHAW. Of the many sad messages which have came to this State from South Africa, happily few have excited more than a general sorrow in Wagga. But an exception, which gave rise to special regret, was cabled out on Saturday [19.7.1902], when it was known that one of the soldiers sent from this town
would return no more. The unwelcome news was received by Mr. W SHAW, senr.,
that his son Charles, aged 21, who went over to the seat of war with the Carrington Scouts under Lieut. TAYLER in March last, had died of dysentery. Nothing definite was convoyed in the message, but it is presumed that he was returning from Klerksdorp, on the way to join his ship for home when he was stricken down. Death took place on Monday last. Mr. Charles SHAW was the fifth son of Mr. and Mrs. William SHAW, senr., of Gurwood Street, and for some years prior to his connection with the Carrington Scouts was serving his articles
with Dr. JS TAYLER, late of Fitzmaurice Street. Sympathy is expressed with the
relatives of the deceased young gentleman who was well known and very widely
respected.

Wagga merchant, and was formerly a member of the firm of Messrs. Peapes and Shaw, of Sydney.

The gathering, which had been organised by members of the Cycling and swimming clubs and friends, took the form of a social.
