Next of Kin plaque : Private S Farlow, 29 Battalion, AIF

Next of kin plaque with an image of Britannia and a lion together with the words 'HE DIED FOR FREEDOM AND HONOUR'. The name of the dead soldier 'SAMUEL FARLOW' is embossed within a raised rectangle. The plaque has been set into a timber panel and fastened using three brass screws.

This plaque was presented to Elizabeth Maloney, the sister and next of kin of number 80 Private Samuel Farlow, of 29 Battalion AIF. Farlow was 40 years old and working as a stableman when he enlisted in the AIF on 8 July 1915. He sailed for France with 29 Battalion and was killed in action at Fromelles on 19 July 1916. His death was not confirmed until one of his identity discs was received by AIF Headquarters from German authorities on 13 March 1917.

Farlow's burial place was initially unknown with his name recorded on the VC Corner Australian Memorial at Fromelles.

However in 2009 Farlow was one of the 250 soldiers whose remains were recovered from a number of mass graves located behind Pheasant Wood. Identified via DNA testing, Farlow has since been re-interred within the Fromelles (Pheasant Wood) Military Cemetery.
Despite now having a known grave Farlow's name will remain on the VC Corner Australian Memorial.
