Death of Mr Pauline

Well-known Victorian was ill in this city

Victoria – Nov 22 – the funeral of the late Ernest A Pauline took places this afternoon from the residence of Mr Goodwin on Yates street to Christ Church Cathedral. Very Rev Dean Doull officiating. Mr Pauline died at Jubilee Hospital Wednesday night. He was forty-eight years of age and was born at Henley-on-Thames, England, but had lived in Victoria for eight years prior to his return to England about fifteen years ago. He came out to this country again about ten weeks ago, first going to Bella Bella to visit a brother there in the hope of benefiting his health, later returning to Vancouver, where he entered the hospital. A few days ago he was removed from there in the Jubilee Hospital, this city, where he died.

Mr Pauline was an accountant by occupation, and is survived by a widow and four children, the eldest of whom, a son, lives in Valparaiso. He is also survived by his father and mother, Mr and Mrs Frederick Pauline, of Oak Bay; four brothers, FA Pauline, George Pauline, HW Pauline of this city, and John Pauline of Bella Bella, and several sisters, Mrs WF Goodwin, Mrs Charles F Gardiner, Mrs George Gardiner, Mrs DL Hickey, Mrs Short, and Mrs RH Williams, all of this province; and Mrs George Lapraik of Oaklands, California.

Letter to Mrs George Paulin from son Victor Paulin, France 22 April 1918

Dear mother,

How are things in old Victoria? Received a letter from Victoria yesterday giving all the latest events, from Nancy Riddell, they are now living at 793 Stillside Ave, wants a snap of me, so I told her to call on you, and you would be sure to give her one. I hope you received the postcards taken at Ayr and the 2 films taken in France while I was in the pool.

I have just returned from Baron von Richtofffen’s funeral, he was the German “star” aviator, and was brought down yesterday by one of the chaps in this wing. He flew a red tryplane. I also went and had a look at that this morning. It was quite a funeral for France, a firing party of Australians, and the pall bearers were officers of the Australian Flying Corps. During the ceremony a formation of our machines flew around the cemetery, everyone was wishing that he had been brought down alive, as he was a brave fellow. I have had him dive on me on one occasion, and am not at all sorry he is out of it, at the same time I have every respect in the world for him, if Idid not happen to be able to dive faster than he on the occasion I mention, he would have “got me” -as the him tryplane is a very frail machine and is liable to break up at a great speed. He couldn’t follow me, believe me, I had “gust up” when I knew that the “star”

“him” was on my tail.

I received a letter from Aunty Nellie, also one from Ben, Ruby and Hilda, everything in the garden is rosy so far as Ruby and Ben are concerned. It appears they have both written me, but I have not received the letters.

Say Mother, did Aunty Floss ever write me? I have never heard from any of our relatives in Victoria, except that one letter from Aunty Doll Aunty Polly. I must have lost a whole batch of mail. I have written about a hundred letters for every one I receive. Expected one from you today, it seems funny that I should receive a letter from Nancy from Victoria, and no other mail with it. Perhaps some more is coming !!!(This letter was dated 11 March)

In case you haven’t received my other letters my address is 23 Squadron, RAF, BED France. I received a letter from Wilf recently, he was in London for a few days. I will get leave in about a month, and will send some more music for Dad, tell him to write a few lines once in a while. I haven’t had a letter from him since I landed in England. I received a Christmas card from him that is all, Well Ma must close now, hope Toby won’t be a nuisance to you, the best way would be to raffle him for the Red Cross!! deducting your expenses.

Love to Dad and yourself, your loving son Vic
