• An article in the local Kingaroy newspaper regarding Robert's death read: - “The sad news was received last week by Mrs W J Staines (nee Ethel Mary Stuart Woods), of Kingaroy, of the death of her brother Private R H Woods, at the front. The deceased soldier died in Clearing Station No 29, of Inflammation of the brain, on 4th February, and the cable naturally came as a shock to his relatives in this district. His brother Mr J(ohn) E(van) Woods is well known here, being a resident of Taabinga Resumption. Deceased was a single man, and prior to his enlistment lived at the Dorrigo Tableland, near Coramba, New South Wales. He had served in the Boer War, so that he was anything but an inexperienced recruit. Another brother (Donald Charles Woods) who had volunteered has been invalided since October, but is now probably back at the front, as word was received a short time ago that he was convalescent. A rather remarkable coincidence may be mentioned, viz, that whereas Private Woods died on 4 February 1917, his father (George Michael Woods) expired exactly 12 months previously viz, on 4 February 1916."

• On 28 Feb 1917 Robert Reid wrote a letter to Ethel Staines regarding Robert's Death
  Melbourne 28 Feb 1917
  Dear Ethel
  Just back from Adelaide and received your telegram about poor Rob. It was a great shock to learn that he had gone. I hoped our boys had only gone to Egypt and the Suez Canal where the fighting is not so deadly. It is dreadful to think we will never see them again, lots of those fine fellows that went away so bravely. Poor Rob has paid the highest possible price for his patriotism and worse luck the fellows that stayed behind do not appreciate it.
  I went out to the camp in Brisbane when I was there last March but it was the 17th of March, St Patrick's Day and the camp was almost deserted and I could not find the boys, and did not get another chance to go out there.
  Have you heard lately of the others? Are they all right?
  I was in London last October and it was very depressing. Everyone you met was in mourning for some and dear relative, and you get very close to the war there.
  I will be in Brisbane about the middle of March, but am sorry to say that I can not spare the time to go out to see you at Kingaroy, but I hope to make the trip some day.
  Kindest regards from your affectionate cousin
  BOB

  3rd Australian Aux Hospital
  Dartford, Kent
  Dear Ethel
  I hardly know how to write to you today, but feel that I must write you a short note at least. Dear Ethel you will have heard all about our dear Rob's death long ere this. I did not know for a month after he had passed away and then only by chance saw his name in the casualty list. I wrote to the OC of the hospital in France and this morning has a letter from the Chaplain in which he said that Rob was brought in from the line unconscious on the 4th of Feb and passed away the same day. They were placing a Cross and wreath on the grave. Oh dear Sister it is hard to lose him but it is God's will and he is at rest.
  I am waiting now for a boat to go home but don't know how long I will have to wait but hope before many weeks to be with you all again. I am not betting my mail these days and the last letters from you and Bessie were written on the 9th Nov. I had one from Jack written on the 29th November. Well dear Ethel forgive this short note but I trust all are well and hope to be with you all again before long.
  Love to all from your Loving Brother Don.
