the Thai-Burma Railway known as No 1 Camp Shuma Sonkuri ... [he] contracted Malaria & Dysentery which was responsible for his untimely death ... approximately the 20th to 31st July 1943 ..."; post-war Army HQ letter confirming Small "died of illness"
& listing his awarded medals; and a piece from a 4½d Medal Wrapper with Melbourne R label handstamped 'Army'; condition variable. A poignant group. The letter was written from Concord Military Hospital (NSW) suggesting the writer had been repatriated
