From 'The (Newcastle) Herald'
Saturday 25 June 2005:
"Last post from WW1
No longer can any Australian tell you with the authority of personal experience about the worst killing fields Australians have known - the slaughteryards of the western front in World War 1.
Peter Casserly, who died in Perth yesterday aged 107, was the last Australian survivor of that carnage.
His death leaves only two other WW1 veterans alive in this country - 106-year old John Ross and former sailor William Allan, 105.
Mr Casserly, like many others, lied about his age when he enlisted, claiming to be 21."
