Next of kin plaque: Private Norman Lublin, 1st Battalion, AIF

Bronze next of kin plaque, showing on the obverse, Britannia holding a laurel wreath, the British lion, dolphins, a spray of oak leaves and the words 'HE DIED FOR FREEDOM AND HONOUR' around the edge. Beneath the main figures, the British lion defeats the German eagle. The initials 'ECP', for the designer Edward Carter Preston appear above the lion's right forepaw. A raised rectangle above the lion's head bears the name 'NORMAN LUBLIN'.

Born in Sydney, Norman Lublin was employed as a tailor's presser when he enlisted in the AIF on 7 January 1916, aged 33. After initial training he was appointed a private, service number 5732, to the 18th reinforcements for 1st Battalion. Lublin left Sydney on 2 June 1916 aboard HMAT A55 Kyarra and arrived in England two months later. He joined D Company of his battalion in France at the beginning of October and specialised as a bomber (grenade thrower). He was accidentally wounded on 19 February 1917 during a practice session for the battalion bombers held behind the lines near Bresle, when a faulty grenade exploded prematurely. He was unconscious when he arrived at the 3rd Field Ambulance's dressing station and died there one and a half hours later. He is buried at the Heilly Station Cemetery, Mericourt-L'Abbe.

The commemorative plaque was sent to Lublin's mother, Janet, in December 1921. Lublin's younger brother, Vivian, served with 19th Battalion and survived the war.
