Many of his close mates dies as a result of the fighting here and he doubtless was witness to many horrifiying scenarios. These events very likely played a part in his committing suicide at age 30 on 8 April, 1922.Eric Douglas41414719file_uploads/ulf_14719_eric douglas meldrum 160999.jpgimage/jpeglocaleric douglas meldrum 160999.jpg1350337bfb395526faaec7137c6c71dd6a69b2a0f72018-09-21 09:22:11jpe50337bfb395526faaec7137c6c71dd6a69b2a0f7E.D.7470631Meldrum, E.D. : St Andrew's College8370728Meldrum E.D. : 1914-15 Star 19198370828Meldrum E.D. : British War Medal 19198370928Meldrum E.D. : Victory Medal 19197459529Meldrum E.D. : Military and health.Enlisted: 4 Aug 1914 - 11 Apr 19187351133Meldrum E.D. : Death 8 Apr 1922 Suicide5116227Meldrum E.D. : Arts, Adelaide University7471324Meldrum E.D. : Life.Birth 23 Aug 1891 - @ Huonville [ TAS Australia ]https://discoveringanzacs.naa.gov.au/browse/records/398488https://www.aif.adfa.edu.au/showPerson?pid=206162531734495Letter to the Registrar - ED Meldrum [ pdf ]734505Student Card [ pdf ]5317351237Meldrum E.D. : Clerk 29 Jan 1920 - Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages Department @ South Australia --
