As a preacher he gave promise of much success.In his earlier years he was closely identified with the Unley Methodist Church, and held various offices in both church and Sunday-school. He was the first of the many young men who have gone from that church to fall, and the tidings of his death has caused much sadness in the church and Sunday-school.

DEATH OF COL. DOLLMAN
"Grand Old Man Of R.S.L."
Col. Walter Dollman who died at his Home at Unley road Malvern, yesterday, has often been termed the "grand old man of the RSL.'" No one had done more for the league and for returned soldiers generally than he. His chief delight in life was always to help the returned digger. During the last war Col. Dollman was commanding officer of the 27th Battalion. Born in Adelaide in 1876, Col. Dollman was educated at Pulteney Grammar School. As a youth he was associated with station life in New South Wales, Queensland, Northern Territory, and Western Australia. Returning to Adelaide in 1895 he subsequently joined the commercial staff of The Advertiser. He always took an enthusiastic interest in civic affairs, becoming a member of the Unley Council for Parkside ward in 1903. In 1913 he was elected Mayor of Unley. In May 1915 Col. Dollman left South Australia in command of the 27th Battalion, returning in 1917,after having been recommended for home service. After the war, he took up land in the Renmark district, but returned to "The Advertiser" some years later, where he was placed on the editorial staff. War Disability - In 1929, Col. Dollman was appointed State president of the RSL after holding the presidency of the Unley sub-branch for three years. He was also president of the Renmark sub-branch in 1923 and 1924. Despite a war disability, he always took part in Anzac Day processions, riding in a car at the head of his old battalion. He was at the saluting base when the Second 27th Battalion marched through Adelaide preparatory to embarking for the Middle East in 1940. Col. Dollman's last big official function was a dinner in connection with the annual Federal congress of the RSL in Adelaide last year. He was wheeled in, in a chair and given a place at the head of one of the tables .He leaves a widow, three sons and two daughters. The funeral will take place today in the AIF Cemetery, West terrace, after a service in St. Augustine's Church Unley. The State board ot the league met yesterday morning, and arranged that the funeral cortege will proceed along Angas street, pausing for a brief service outside league headquarters.

SOLDIER'S BODY IN TORRENS LAKE.
When standing on the City Bridge over Torrens Lake shortly after 4 o'clock onTuesday afternoon, John Vernon Angus, aged 16 years, a pupil at the Adelaide High School, and who resides at Prospect, noticed something in the water which appeared to be the uniform of a soldier. He reported the matter to the police. Mr. E. Jolley, proprietor of boatsheds at Morphett street, was then telephoned to and asked to communicate with Water Constable Mason. In the meantime the body of a soldier was taken out of the Lake by Messrs. Cecil Rowe and Oakley Browning, of the Army Medical Corps, Exhibition Camp, and removed to the morgue. Included in a number of articles found in deceased's pockets, was 10/6 in money. Subsequently other possessions were found at the Gresham Hotel, where deceased had left them on Thursday last. Among them was a letter addressed to Miss Ruth Dornwell, Porter street, Parkside. Deceased, who was dressed in a military overcoat over civilian clothes was later identified as George Joseph Dornwell, aged 22 years, formerly of Parkside. He was reported as a missing friend on October 28, and had been on sick leave from the Mitcham camp. The body had evidently been in the water tordays. The City Coroner has been informed.

A SOLDIER'S END.
Circumstances surrounding the death of George Joseph Dornwell, whose body was found floating in Torrens Lake on Tuesday last, were investigated by the City
Coroner (Dr. Ramsay Smith) at the Adelaide Police Court on Thursday. George Bernard Cornwell, coach painter,of Parkside, said he had identified the body as that of his son, who was 22 years of age, and a member of the expeditionary forces. Some weeks ago he was in the Adelaide Hospital suffering from meningitis. Wittness last saw him alive on October 20, when he said he felt all right, but was very queer in his ways. He had no trouble, so far as witness knew. Horace Edward Duncan, licencee of the Gresham Hotel, said deceased was at his hotel on October 28. He looked as though he had been crying. He was sitting alone. He booked a room for that night, but left the hotel at about 10.30 p.m., and did not return. John Vernon Angus, pupil at the Adelaide High School, said that shortly after 1 p.m. on November 2 he saw what appeared to be the body of a man floating in Torrens Lake, near the City Bridge. He reported the matter to the Watch house. Cecil Escott Rowe, member of the A.M.C. in camp at Frome road, gave evidence to the effect that he saw a body floating in the lake, and got a boat and took it ashore. Constable Mason came and took charge of it. Dr. A. F. Lynch said that he had examined the body, and in his opinion death was due to drowning. The body appeared to have been in the water for some days. The Coroner— In this form of meningitis which is about now is the sufferer's mind affected? Witness— Yes, often. A letter which had been found in deceased's bedroom at the Gresham Hotel was identified by Mr. Dornwell as being in his son's handwriting. The contents related to the disposal of a watch and money. The Coroner said that the letter very strongly suggested, if it were not absolutely positive evidence of, an intention to be done with life. The fact that deceased had suffered from meningitis supplied corroborative evidence. He found that Dornwell came to his death on or about October 28 from drowning by his own act, and that at the time he was of unsound mind.
