Essendon Boys Eulogised
An officer at the front in a letter received this week by Cr J F
Henderson, of Moonee Ponds, makes the following references
to the good work done by lads from the Essendon district at
Gallipoli.
Lieutenant Kenneth Walker repeatedly distinguished himself
under fire, particularly by rescuing men buried in the trenches
by the Turkish shell fire, and by leading a party of bomb
throwers to eject Turks who had seized one of our trenches. It was
while rescuing some of the men of the 6th Battalion that he was
wounded. Another man, Sergeant George Gardner (sic) exhibited great
courage and calmness which won the admiration of the Brigade.
"An Essendon boy who has done excellent work In the fighting lines, is
Lance-Corporal R K Ransom. He is always cool and ready to volunteer
for any job, however dangerous. Sergeants Charlie Cowan and G A
Gilchrist are doing very well. Had they been a little older they would
have received commissions before this. Lance-Corporal P Hoare has just
been slightly wounded.

OUR SOLDIERS
Writing to a friend at Moonee Ponds, Corporal P. Hoare, who has been home and is now on his way to the firing line, says:-"We landed on October 26, and as I took sick a day earlier I was sent straight into hospital. My temperature was 104 deg., but I expect to be right again in a week or two. I am at Wareham, a couple of stations from Weymouth, and our boys have shifted to a camp near Salisbury. There is an old 7th Battalion Sergeant here as a ward mate. He went through the landing at Gallipoli, and right through to the evacuation, and then through the big fighting in France, but got a bullet or two. He tells me our fellows did splendidly over there, but says the fighting was simply like going through hell. I was unlucky to fall sick, but I intend to get a Hun or two before I go back, or else they'll get me."
