There was a satisfactory increase in the number of volunteers offering at the local enlisting depot; and as a result the new army was increased by six men. Ten volunteers came forward and of these six passed the medical examination. The candidates for enlistment were as follow: DAVID HUGH NORGATE, STANLEY WM. CAMERON, GEO. CAMPBELL BELL, ERNEST JOHN SAYWELL, HAROLD OAKLEY, VIVIAN VERMISH, JOHN STANLEY JENKINS, FRANCIS SEYMOUR O'MALLEY, JOHN JOSEPH JAGO, WILLIAM PHELAN. Warrnambool Standard Saturday 11 March 1916, page 9 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article73872879 PTE. JOHN J. JAGO. Private John Joseph Jago was the eldest son of Mrs. J. Jago, of Japan-street, and the last J. Jago, of Cassidy's Bridge. He was reported missing after the big engagement on 11th April last, but official word was received by his mother through the Rev. W. Edgar Wood, on the 27th November, that he was killed in that battle. Pte. Jago was employed at the Warrnambool Woollen Mill for four years prior to enlistment, and his genial disposition made him a general favourite with his fellow employees, amongst whom he was regarded as "one of the best." His chief aim in life was to stand by his widowed mother and his younger brothers and sisters. His name appears on the Honor Roll of St. George's Church of England, East Warrnambool, and on a recent Sunday evening suitable reference was made to his lamented death. He enlisted in March, 1916, and saw constant service from then until he received his fatal wound. Warrnambool Standard, 22 December 1917, page 3 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article73974157 The readiness with which our soldiers step out into unknown dangers is a sure sign of wonderful courage and those who have fallen in these awful battles deserve the name of heroes. But some have earned the title doubly. Amongst the names of those missing in that fatal April was that of John J. Jago. He was a simple lad in an obscure home. Poverty knocked hard at the door because of the father's unexpected death; he was the oldest of six small children, and although only in his early teens when that bereavement fell on the home he set himself the task of being a bread winner. The family lived near Dennington; he walked to the Woollen Mill seeking any kind of employment; he was successful, and for some time covered the distance night and morning on foot until the family came to Warrnambool. For several years he plodded, winning praise and promotion. Every penny of his wages he gave to his mother earning his clothes by working overtime and put ting in his leisure growing vegetables. He was always cheerful and would think he was the last man anyone would call a hero. Just about 12 months ago he responded to Duty's more clarion call; but methinks that the first part was the greater because the more difficult.
