Dr Way was summoned and ordered Moulden's removal to the Kalgoorlie Government Hospital. He was suffering from a fracture of the base of the skull and cerebral haemorrhage.

When her son met with the accident she came to the goldfields to see him. The deceased suffered from gas as the result of the Great War.

Notes

Although called Albert (ie Bertie) in the above story, he was buried at Karrakatta under his correct names. His marriage is registered but it would seem did not last very long, although Agnes never remarried.
