HOSPITAL REPORT.

CANTERBURY MILITARY DISTRICT. Still Dangerously IIL Bliclc, T. G. (Blenheim); Wade, J. (Tern uka). Seriously HI. "Ward, P. C (Blenheim). Removed from Seriously HI List. Banks, L. C., Sergeant (Templeton); Foles, E. (Aahburton). Not Reported as Severe Cases. Tucker, F. K., Ideutenbnt (Linwood); Brooke, E. G. (Timaru); Cameron, J. (Tinwald): Hill, C. F. G. (liinwood); McQueen, J. (Coalgate); Mills, E. H. (Ximaru); Searle, J. (Hari Hari); Shone, H. A. (Glenhopa); Stewart, F. H., L&nce-Corporal (Pleasant Point). Second-Lieutenant F. G. Beechey, whose death in action was reported on Thursday, was a son of Mr J. M. Beeeney, a weil-known and popular scnoounaster in the Wairarapa. 'I'he deceased, who was about thirty-five years of age, was assistant teacher at the South 'Wellington school when he enlisted. / Lance-Corporal AV. .W. Garbett, re*

ported killed in action on July 25th, I was well-known in Wellington, having resided there all his life. Ho was i for gome time in the employ of Messrs! Thomson, Lewis, and Co. As a member of the Boy' Institute cricket team he made many friends who will deeply regret his death. He was a son of Mrs M. Garbett, of 11 Featherston terrace, and a great-grandson of Field-Marshall Garbett. Mrs Garbett is at present absent from New Zealand, and is unaware of her sad loss. Lance-Corporal Garbett was 24 years of age at the time of his death. Advice has been received by Mr Robert Hannah, of Wellington, from his son,' Major Hannah, It.F.A., who was very seriously wounded in action some months ago, to the effect that under certain conditions he-will be permitted to return to New Zealand as a cot case in October. It appears that Major Hannah's wound—a high-up compound fracture of the thigh—ha 3 not healed at all satisfactorily, and another operation will be necessary in twelve months' time. Private Harry P. Cullwick, son of the Rev. T. C. Cullwick, vicar of Puketapu, died in the military hospital, Cauifield, Melbourne. < While serving with the 56th Australian Battalion n France he was very severely wounded on March 7th, 1917. His wound becoming septic necessitated a number of severe operations, involving much suffering and culminating in thp amputation of the leg, which resulted in death from haemorrhage on the sth inst. Lance-Corporal H. Leo Talbot, of the New Zealand Rifle Brigade, re!)orted killed in action on July 26th ast, was the second son of Mr Frederick .H Talbot, of Motueka. Prior to enlisting, the deceased was farming in the Motueka district. The eldest son of Mr Talbot, Saddler Merl Talbot, is serving" in France, and was wounded early in the present year. Corporal Brown, whose death took place on July 28th, in France, was educated at the Boys' High School, Dunedin f and was for some years employed m the Dunedin office of the Standard. Insurance Company. He left wita tho 21st Reinforcements. A special message from the official war correspondent at New Zealand Headquarters, dated August Bth, says: —To-day Sergeant Richard Charles Travis and an officer who was with him were killed by a stray shell. la Sergeant Travis tho New Zealand force loses one of its bravest soldiers. He made a speciality of raiding, and had earned more than local fame for his many successful exploits. He is tho man referred to specially as the Otago horse-breaker in my . letters of June 11th. His methods in raiding were peculiarly his own. Ho was somewhat of a character. A man of great resource and considerable initiative, he studied thoroughly beforehand the various enterprises, thus eliminating as far as possible the ordinary risks of war by j carefully marking down those of the I enemy destined for destruction or capture, or both, much as a big-game hunter stalks his prey, and notes and places to his own advantage the configuration of country and cover available. Whether raiding by night or in broad daylight, Sergeant Travis was invariably successful, and he was well backed by other daring Otago men, who accompanied him. It is the irony of fate that after his many dangerous exploits in battle, and his raiding in No Man's Land, ho should fall a victim to a chance shell. He had been: awarded the D.O!M., the Belgian Croix do Guerre, the Military Medal, and a bar to the latter. Advice has been received that four men included in Thursday's casualty list, "missing, believed drowned," were victims of the German attack on the hospital ship Warilda. The names, of the men are: —Privates A. H. Teniperly, J. J..Knox, J. J. McGrath, and J. Everett. So far as is known they were the only New Zealanders involved in the disaster, though others may have been in the hospital ship and com© off unscathed.
