Amongst the latest to be accepted for the front are Messrs. C. Bate (sic) and L. Langley, who were both apprenticed at the Queen's Park gardens, under Mr. John Oliver, the curator.  Both are good workmen, and their places will be hard to fill. Still they have done the right thing to come to their country's aid. Applications are now called for lads to take their places.

Driver Leslie Bate contracted pneumonia, while still in training in England.  He was admitted to the Fargo Military Hospital seriously ill on 13 March 1917.  He was later found to have tuberculosis, and after several months in hospital he was repatriated to Australia on 27 September 1917.
