I believe (though I have to check my stored notes for this) that it was Dugald MacPhail in 1946.

D McPhail 4th May 1941 (visit that great Keynsham Light Horse site for a photo of his headstone)
R.J. Hall died 1943
W.H. Stafford died 1945 (?)

My notes say 4th May 1941 for MacPhail too - sorry for any confusion caused.
