Death of William Keelan, 5th Australian Light Horse. William was a native of Gatehouse but had been brought up in Kirkcudbright. Before the war he was in service at the Carse and other farms in the area. He emigrated to Australia 8 years ago (c.1907) and had enlisted in the Commonwealth Expeditionary Force at the outbreak of war. He served in the Dardanelles and after being wounded he was sent to recover in an English hospital. He married Elizabeth about 9 weeks before he was tragically killed. After his wedding he returned to Woolwich but had not expected to return to fighting for a considerable time. He was killed by a motor car in the street and buried in Woolwich.
