' ' PERSONAL NOTES. Private Charles William M'Farlane, Utago Battalion, reported in last right's issue as having died of wounds, was a son of Mr L. C. M'Farlane, 14 City xoad, Roslyn. J ' Lance-corporal John Geary (killed in action) was a. son of Mr William Geary, 1/ower Portobello. and was 29 years of age. He joined the mounted section of the Main Expeditionary Force, and prior to his enlistment was a, warder at "The Camp," Utago Peninsula, ' As a horseman he had j few equals, and his death will be mourned »y a large circle of friends. ! Mr T. Mellor, caretaker of the Whanjgarei Town Hall, received official notifil cation on Thursday that hi, two sons, ! Private Arthur Foster MeUor and Private Uement MeUor, are reported to be massing, and are supposed to have been killed, iney left vi\h. the 4th Reinforcements. Private A. F. Mellor was 30 vears of ace, and Private C. MeUor 25 years old. Tho only remaining eon, Mr T. MeUor, joined the 4th Reinforcements, but became ill in oamp, and had to leave the force, Private G. Gnnn v of the Wellington Battalion who is reported as missing, and is probably killed, was the eldest of three sons of the late Mr William Gunn and a brother of Mrs D. Hyland, wife of Sergeant Hyland, of the Ghristehurch Police *orce. He wae born in Hyde, Central Utago, 35 years ago, and was educated in the Arthur- Street School, Dunedin. Prior to enlisting with the 4th Reinforcement* he had been a resident of the Manawata. district for many years, and he was widely and popularly known there, principally in football circles. A younger brother of his is also at the Dardanelles, having left with the 2nd Reinforcements. Corporal Alfred C. Bennett (New Zealand Medical Corps, wounded) is 40 years of age, and was born in Dunedin. He is s a married man, with one child. Corporal Bennett was for many years a prominent member of the Christchurch Fire Brioade and was stationed at the City Station in i-ichfield street when he enlisted with the •Mom Expeditionary Force. Private advice ha 3 been received that Acting Sergeant Keith De Maus, a wellknown Christchurch athlete (of the Christchurch 'Press' Company's commercial statt), who is on active service with tho Canterbury Battalion of tne Main ExpediHonary Force, and who was invalided from UUlipoli to Cairo some weeks ago, has now thoroughly recovered his health and returned to the firing line. Sergeant De Maus was in the historic landing of April £5, and while he was on sick leave in igypt he attended the school of instruction at Zeitoun, and obtained a sergeant instructor's certificate. Sergeant Albert Joseph Downing (Wellington Battalion), who is reported to have been killed, was about 28 years of age and the eldest son of Mr and Mrs John Downing, Port Ahuriri, Napier. He was born at the Port, and educated at tho Marist Brothers' School. For a tame he toliowed farming pursuits, but returaiivr to Napier he took service with Messre Barry Bros., carriers and coal merchants, and had been with them off and on ever since. Quick in all thinsrs. he could have risen high on the clerical staff of the firm, but indoor life had no attractions for him, and he preferred to remain a carter. As'a footballer "DooUan," to give him the name ho was familiarly known by, was one of the best, :f not the beet, forwards of his tame. His introduction to tfio Kugby world outside Naoier came about through the institution by the .New Zealand Union of touring teams selected fr-m ■i j™ 3^ 161 anions throughout both islands, he being included in the North Island team on two occasions. Right throughout New Zealand hie worth w?s acclaimed, and his inclusiou in tho teams which recently tourrd OnijfnmJa , r .J *..*. tralia, and in which he gained further lame, was a foregone j!e «--s also a North Island, Hawke'e Bay, and Auckland "rep." In Napier and Aiickland he played for the Mamst Bros.' Club. He was a magnificent specimen of manhood, and his happy disposition made him hosts of friends. To know "him was to like. him. and his death, though in a noble cause, will be keenly regretted by his many fnends and admirers throughout the Dominion.
