Charles walter Crompton
b.07apr1850, Cox's Creek, Adelaide?
d.25jun1929, Melb(ourne) S(outh), Victoria.
Age at death given as 79.
Charles married Elizabeth Cox (1854-1925) in 1872. They had no children. Part
of the insight in to life of Charles' is inferred in the life of
William henry Cox jnr.
The information given on the death certificate has to be treated with some
scientism. It is thought that the 'hearsay' information given, by an 'Agent',
results from Charles Walter outliving his wife Elizabeth and there being 'no
issue' to report the facts. It can be imagined that Charles Walter died alone
in his home in St Kilda Road, South Melbourne of bronchitis
and mitral regurgitation - a leaky heart valve.
Having been born in Adelaide on 07 April 1850 the death certificate infers that
Caleb moved his family to New South Wales, for a period of five years, before
migrating to Dowling Forest in about 1856. However, by this date Caleb had been
dead for two years. It is also possible that a 'random number of years' has been
recorded for the length of his marriage to Elizabeth. Family records would suggest
that the marriage was of 47 years.

| 21st. Battalion A.I.F. | Captain Frederick SALE | This officer commanded the left
flank of the attack on the MOUQUET FARM trenches on the 26th August 1916,
and displayed high soldierly qualities in organising and consolidating the
defence of the captured position about [Point] 77, under very heavy shell fire.
Though wounded he remained on duty and, though his runners had become casualties in attempting to cross the open ground to our lines in rear, he reported to Battalion Headquarters and then returned to his post until relieved. |

| Unit | Reg. No | Rank and name | Action for which commended | Recommended by | Honour or Reward |
| 21st Bn. | Capt. Frederick SALE, M.C. | For most conspicuous gallantry in
action. During the attack on 4th Oct. at BROODSEINDE this officer led his
company with the greatest dash and gallantry showing considerable coolness
and initiative throughout but particularly during the half hour preceding
the attack when the Battalion was heavily shelled on the J.O.T. Throughout
the attack his courage was a continual source of inspiration to his men. On
the final objective he practically superintended the whole of the
consolidation, and owing to his keen grasp of the situation, sent back most
valuable and complete reports.
