Chaplain the Rev. T. Gordon Robertson has written to the parents of the late Private E.W. Wait, at Goodwood Park, giving some particulars of his death. He relates that the event occurred on a Sunday afternoon while the Turks were shelling the position very heavily. Private Wait was shot through the heart by a pellet from a shrapnel shell, and death was practically instantaneous. A sad feature of the affair was that Private Wait had only arrived at the scene of operations with the latest reinforcements three days previously, and he was the first of the new arrivals to be hit. He was killed about 5.30 in the afternoon, and buried three hours later. In closing the chaplain pays a warm tribute to the worth of the deceased soldier and the high respect in which he was held by his officers and comrades. Private Wait was 19 years of age, and a member of the 5th Reinforcements of the 10th Battalion.

18 year-old Francis Raphael Walsh enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force on the 13th of July 1915 . Currently serving in the cadets (which he had been doing for 4 years) he was a photographer by trade and was sent to camp as a member of the 32nd battalion.
Obviously inspired by his brother's enlistment Richmond Ambrose Walsh enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force on the 21st of July, joining his brother in the 32nd battalion. However, Richmond had a secret, he was underage. But that wasn't all, his name wasn't even Richmond Ambrose Walsh, but rather Andrew Clement Walsh. In a bid to avoid suspicion as to his true age (17) Andrew had enlisted using his older brother's name.
The two brothers left Australia for the Middle East onboard the Geelong in November 1915. Before they left they visited their family to say goodbye, their niece (the daughter of the real Richmond Ambrose) vividly remembering them walking away together down the lane, pausing at the end to wave before disappearing from view, off to do their duty.
After spending several months at the Ferry Post they moved to France onboard the Transylvania and proceeded by train to Northern France . On the 10th of July Francis was moved to the 5th Division Salvage Company, the brothers becoming separated for the first time since Andrew enlisted.
However they were soon reunited during the battle of Fromelles, with Francis seeing his brother after he was wounded during the attack on the German positions. Obviously aware of how seriously his brother was wounded, Franics was later recorded as saying he knew they were serious enough to prevent Andrew returning to the front.
Andrew eventually succumbed to his wounds and became one of the many who lost their lives that July day with no known burial. Over the coming years his brother George Leslie Walsh (who enlisted in 1916 and joined the 11th Field Ambulance) continued to search for news of what happened to his brother, even though they knew he was dead.
Francis continued to serve with the 5th Division Salvage company throughout 1917 and into 1918, spending time in hospital during that period for influenza and problems with his teeth, the harsh conditions of the trenches clearly taking their toll. In September 1918 he transferred to the War Records Office in the AIF HQ, a position he held until his return to Australia in early 1919.

ALLEGED THEFT IN ADELAIDE
FROM SOLDIER SETTLEMENT FUND
'AN ARREST IN LONDON'
(United Service Message.)
London, October 13.
Described as an Australian, farmer, John Richard Westley was charged at Stratford (London) with stealing £600 sterling from the Soldiers' Land SetTLement Office in Adelaide, and with being in possession of a revolver with out a permit. Evidence was given that Westley attempted suicide. He fired three shots at his head, but, owing to the influence of drink, they all missed.
NOT A THIEF.
A FALSE CONFESSION.
The London 'Daily Mail' says that John Richard Westley, who described himself as an Australian farmer, and who was charged last week at Stratford with having stolen £600, the property of the Soldiers' Land Settlement Fund in Adelaide, and also with being in possession of a revolver without a permit, has been discharged. The police evidence showed that Westley's confession of stealing the money was not true. His object was to secure a free passage to Australia. [Evidence at the previous hearings showed that Westley attempted to commit suicide. He fired three shots at his head, but owing to being under the influence of liquor they all missed their mark.]

Liebing, of Currie street, Adelaide. He began his education at Redhill public school, where he won a three years scholarship at the age of 13 years 3 months. At the Adelaide High School he held his own. He was a pupil teacher at Laura public school, where, although only 17 years old, he took a leading part in literary society work, and won many prizes in debates and elocution competitions. After leaving the University he taught in Unley High School, where he won the love of his pupils, and gained the highest commendations of the department. He passed in all but one subject for the B.Sc. degree He was one of the first education officers to offer his services in the field, and it was only after six attempts that he was accepted. He left Australia in charge of 11th Reinforcement of the 32nd Battalion. His special abilities caused the authorities in England to keep him there (much against his will) in various responsible positions. He was only in France a month before he was killed.

Lieut. L. A. Whitington, Alive
On Friday, October 25, Mr. and Mrs.Peter Whitington received official news from the military authorities that their youngest son, Lieut. Louis Arnold Whitington, of the
48th Battalion, A.I.F., had been killed in action on October 12. That was the day on which so many bright young lives from Australia went out in the great offensive at Pasachendaele. The family subsequently received a message of sympathy from the King and Queen. In face of the official news and after the lapse of nearly seven weeks, it looked like hoping against hope to even imagine at could be otherwise than the worst, although one of his sisters had two dreams in which she saw her brother alive and she insisted that he was not dead. On Wednesday the Red Gross Information Bureau received, the copy of a cablegram dispatched from London to Melbournestating that Lieut. Whitington, 48th Battalion was a prisoner of war at Soltan, Germany. On Thursday the military received the following official message: - 'Lieut. L. .A. Whitington, 48th Battalion, previously 'Reported killed in action, now reported wounded and prisoner of war.' Just previous to going into action, the young soldier wrote a letter to his father which now has a prophetic interest. It concluded as follows:— 'This should arrive about Christmas time. I trust you all have a very merry one and a joyful new year . I fancy there is a lot more joy in store for us than a good many, of us anticipate.' One of his legal associates, when he heard the almost unbelievable tidings, said:— 'I am sure the joy bells will be ringing in the heart of all Louis friends at the great good news! Lieut. Whitington was educated at Prince Alfred College and the Adelaide University. He took his degree of LL.B. in 1911. He was articled to the firm of Messrs. Anderson and Gordon, the latter of whom was killed early in the war, and was admitted to the Bar on December 16,, 1911. He was chief clerk to Messrs. Poole & Johnstone, and later practised his profession at Narracoorte, and from there he enlisted. After passing the N.C.O. and officers' schools at Mitcham he was appointed second lieutenant on March 16, 1916, and left for the front in August, 1916. He made rapid advance at Codford, England -where he obtained his first lieutenancy. He was acting adjutant, and later was placed temporarily second in command of the 12th Training Battalion, and was pressed to remain on the staff in England, but this work had no fascination for him, although as counsel for the prisoners at the court martials fee took special pleasure in winning his cases. In one of his letters he wrote: — 'Had a- glorious victory, got my man off today, and made another friend for life. But he chafed to get to the front, and finally got permission to go on September 8, when he crossed to France. Capt. Frank Lloyd, now of' the Mitcham Camp, is a brother-in-law of Lieut. Whitington. He was an officer, of the 32nd Battalion, and was so dangerously wounded in one of the big offences on the western front that the surgeons said it was a miracle that he recovered.

Private W.F. Wood of the 6th Reinforcements, 10th Battalion, was killed on August 6. He was the eldest son of the late Mr. W.J. Wood of Ramco, River Murray, and first enlisted in the Light Horse. He was discharged as medically unfit at Braodmeadows camp in December, but when he recovered he joined the infantry. Whilst in camp with the Light Horse at Morphettville he saved a comrade's life at the Glenelg beach. The man had got out of his depth and was almost gone, when Private Wood went to his assistance and brought him out. At the next morning's parade he was called out and thanked by the commanding officer, and received three hearty cheers from the men. He left Adelaide on June 23. His sister, Miss May Wood, received a letter from him dated August 4, saying that he was going into the firing trenches on August 6, so that he was killed on the first day in the firing line. He has a brother at the front. He played football for the Ramco club, was a good shot, and a powerful swimmer. He would have been 24 years of age on September 27.
