Michael Patrick (Mick) McLoughlin (1900–1967)
Michael (Mick) Patrick McLoughlin was 18¼ years old when he enlisted in the AIF on 12 June 1918 with his parents' consent. He was described as being 5 feet 6½ inches tall, with a medium complexion, blue eyes and brown hair and weighed 120 pounds. His occupation was given as labourer. He was assigned to a composite battalion and was demobilized on 19 November 1918.
McLoughlin lived at Sylvanham Station (NSW) when he was in one place, west of Merriwagga. The owners of the station remember him being told by his doctor sometime around 1960 to live in a drier climate after he contracted botulism and tuberculosis. He died at Concord Repatriation Hospital, Sydney, on 21 February 1967 of broncho pneumonia (days), lung cancer (months), and pulmonary tuberculosis (months). Those filling in his death certificate knew nothing about his family.
