PERSONAL NOTES
Mr Louis Dasler, of Tokarahi, has received word that his son, private James Dasler, has been killed in action at the Dardanelles on the 25th June. Private Dasler joined the 3rd Reinforcements at Gisborne, but was afterwards transferred to the Otago Battalion. He was 25 years of age, and was engaged on his father's property up to two years ago, when he went to Gisborne. He was unmarried. Another brother is in the Main Expeditionary Force, while a step-son of Mr Dasler's is at present in the training camp. -Oamaru Mail, 12/7/1915.
James Dasler was killed during a relatively quiet period on Gallipoli for the Otago Infantry Regiment, though all places, front line or back line, were under Turkish guns.
