Flemington-Kensington Church News, July 1917

 

Lieut T Dunn, 38th Battalion.  Our friend left these shores in November 1915 with the 29th Battalion as Sergt.  After about six months training and service in Egypt he was sent to France in June 1916.  He has seen a deal of service on the West front since, and was wounded at Armentieres on the 26th February.  We congratulate him on his recovery, and on receiving the second star on his shoulder.  In a letter received a few days ago he says "The Brigade which I am now in has a good number of Flemington and Kensington boys in it.  Among them is Jim Todd, who was awarded a MC for his splendid scouting works in connection with a raid in which I also took part.".  He then mentioned several of our old Bible Class members.
