• Notes

  Killed When Crushed Under Army Trailer John Charles Kearley, 20, single, boilermaker's assistant, was killed instantly when he was crushed under the wheels of an Army trailer at Moorooka at 7.15 this morning. Kearley, who resided with his parents at Lucy Street, Yeronga, was travelling along Beaudesert Road, outbound on his motorcycle behind an Army truck and trailer carrying 30 soldiers from Moorooka to Redbank. The truck and trailer turned from Beaudesert Road into Chaucer Street, on the down grade, and Kearley, who was immediately behind the trailer, collided with it. His motorcycle went under the back of the trailer, and as Kearley fell to the ground the back wheels of the trailer passed over him. Kearley was employed as a boilermaker's apprentice at the works of Evans, Deakin, at Rocklea, and was on his way to work when he was killed. Source: The Telegraph (Brisbane), 27 March 1946, Page 5.
