Killed in action in France on 26 March 1917. The AWM has an association with Mosman. This is probably based on his connection with George Charles Augustus Warre of Eula, 2 Alexander Street Mosman. He allotted his pay to a joint bank account with Warre. Warre's brothers, George Geoffrey and John Wolston Warre also served in World War 1. It may be that there was connection between one of them and Fred Corner.

George Warre inserted a Death Notice in the Sydney Morning Herald on 21 April 1917 (p12). He probably submitted the following obituary, published on the same day (p14), which stated that Fred Corner was connected with Barellan, NSW.

LIEUT. F. W. CORNER, News has been received of the death in action on March 26 of Second-Lieut, Fred. Williams Corner, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Corner, of Cambridge, England. Lieut. Corner came to Australia in 1911 to attend the Wagga Experimental Farm, and subsequently took up farming in the Barellan district. He answered the call in 1915, and served at Gallipoli as a private. He gained his commission in January last, and was attached to another battalion at the time of his death.
