The brothers Harrison are all well known in Kensington, where they resided with their parents in Thompson street prior to enlisting. They were prominent in amateur cycling circles. Harold, the youngest, has  paid the great sacrifice, and his death is deeply lamented. Joseph is now probably fighting, whilst his elder brother, Herbert, is also over yonder. Herbert is perhaps the best known of the three. He managed and trained several Victorian cycling teams on their trips to Sydney and Brisbane, where Australian champion-ships were held. Herbert Harrison made many, attempts to join the forces, but each time was turned away owing to the smallness of stature. Still undaunted, He made a valiant effort to improve his measurements by physical culture, and was eventually accepted. Just before leaving he said he "was sure he could do just as much as a great big fellow".
