Notes
His name is on the Historic Obelisk in Melbourne General Cemetery, however he was not Jewish. Samuel attested that he was Presbyterian. This Samuel Phillips has a cross on his grave. It is thought that he was confused with 4959 PTE Samuel Isaac Phillips who was not on the Historic Obelisk and should have been. PTE S I Phillips has a Magen David on his grave. See next page. Rabbi’s decision: Ruled to not be Jewish. Therefore not to be on the list for future memorials.
