Fynmore-H-L--A-g-Sgt-2639

H. Fynmore of St. Thomas' Harriers, whose photograph is reproduced [above], is located at Zeitoun, and is some three stone heavier than when he left Melbourne late last year.

Other members of this club to be mentioned are R. Ransom, promoted to be corporal; H. L. Manners, ill in hospital with influenza, and later with typhoid; while Lieut. Harold Barker,   D.C.M. has attained a further honor that of being included in the last party to quit Anzac. 

Harry McNeil writes from France that Sergeant E. S. Pitman (Essendon Harriers) is shortly being transferred to the Flying Corps. McNeil mentions that 'H. Fynmore is to run at sports tomorrow in a mile, but he expects to strike a snag in T. N. Vines.'

ST. THOMAS' HARRIERS 

In a recent letter to Mr T. Cook, H. L. Fynmore makes reference to a number of his St. Thomas's club-mates. He says: — "Captain H. Barker left his old company some time ago; he strained a sinew in one of his ankles, and was sent over to England, where he got a transfer to a Machine Gun section then  forming. I hear he is O.C. of that company now, and would not be surprised if he was shortly made a major. Lieutenant S. Bowman is looking well and fit, and is going as strong as ever. Penrose Gatliff, who was a Q.M.S. in his old battalion, has now received a commission, and has been transferred to the 10th Battalion; he is in the best of health and looking fine. Captain Bowtell-Harris has been recuperating in England, and I recently met him in Hyde Park during a 10 days' furlough. He told me he was just about to go before a Medical Board, and was hoping, to get back to his battalion; but I may say he is not looking too well on it, and I rather fancy the Board will give him a few months of home service in England. He richly deserves six months back in Australia, having been right through it all from the jump.  Harry Manners, who was a sergeant in a machine gun company, has been sent over to an Officers' Training College in England. Harry Crapp has been transferred to the 2nd Field Ambulance, and I have temporarily lost touch with him. Rupert Terry joined up with his battalion again recently, but before I could get round to see him he was sent back to hospital ill; he is a corporal. R. Ransome is in charge of our  Bugle Band; he has not been in, too good trim of late. Word was received early in the present week that Sergeant T. S. Goodall [sic H T Goodall], of the St. Thomas' Harriers, has been wounded in France. It is understood that the wound is, however, not a serious one. Goodall left these shores with the first Australian force.
