The Mount Barker Courier and Onkaparinga and Gumeracha Advertiser 15-3-1918
The late Private P. R. Richardson, who was a well-known figure in Murray Bridge, enlisted on January 22,1917, was drafted into the 9th reinforcements of the 50th Battalion, and left for England on February 10. He arrived in London on May 3, and went into training at the Codford Camp on Salisbury Plains. He was sent to France on August 1, and went into the firing line on September 13. After three months in the trenches he was sent back to England, suffering from the effects of poisonous gas. He was placed in the Australian Red Cross Hospital in Norfolk, and subsequently transferred to a convalescent hospital in London, where he died suddenly. He was born at Mt. Gambier, educated at the Mt. Gambier School, and spent the greater portion of his life in that district. He followed farming pursuits chiefly, but for a time had a butchering business. He was a member of the rifle club, and took great interest in the firing competitions of the club. He was also keenly interested in all local sporting matters. Private Richardson came to Murray Bridge with his wife and family about four years ago and followed the occupation of a general labourer. He made three attempts to enlist before he was accepted. He was 36 years of age at the time of his death, and left a widow and two children.

THE LATE SAPPER E. V. ROBINS MEMORIAL SERVICE.
On Sunday night , last, in the Alstonville Agricultural Hall, the Rev. Gordon W. McAlpine Alstonville, conducted a memorial service to the late Sapper E. V. Robins, second son of Mr. H. A. Robins, "Lochiel," Rous, who had given his life for his King and country. The attendance "was very large indeed, all classes and creeds attending to pay-their respect to the memory of a brave soldier and to his father-and brothers and sisters. The stage was appropriately arranged for the occasion. The background consisted of a large "Union Jack,' while the pulpit was draped in black relieved by the Australian flag, in front of which was a large wreath of white chrysanthemums. On the organ was a large vase of white flowers.
The service, which was a very solemn one opened with the National Anthem, followed by a prayer, after which the hymn "0 God Our Help in Ages Past" was sung. The first lesson was taken from Ecclesiastics 12th chapter. After prayer Psalm 20 was sung. The second lesson was from 1st Corinthians, 15th chapter. After prayer Kipling's famous Recessional Hymn was sung. The other hymns were: "O God of Love, 0 King of Peace," and "'For Ever With the Lord." The Rev.
Mr. McAlpine preached an eloquent and highly instructive sermon from Hebrews 9th chapter, 27th-verse: "It is appointed unto men once to die.'' In his
discourse the reverend preacher referred to the significance of Anzac Day,' a day, he said, Australia would demand to be placed in history. He also dealt with the theme of life beyond the grave, and in conclusion paid a high tribute to the many fine qualities of the deceased soldier, who was a son of one of the most respected citizens in the district. At the conclusion of the sermon a prayer was offered, after which, Mr. G.Hampton, of Lismore, sang in fine voice
"He Wipes a Tear From Every Eye." After the Benediction the Dead-March in "Saul" was played by Miss Abernethy, who presided at the organ throughout the
service.

BRILLIANT CAREER IN THE AIR FORCE.
Lieut. J. S. Ross, 23 years of age, was a telegraph operator with the Pacific Cable Company before he enlisted in 1916. He went to France as wireless operator with the 69th Squadron, R.F.C., later renamed the 3rd Australian Squadron. This was the Australian Corps Photographic Squadron, flying in R.E.8's, locally called the 'buses. At the end of 1916 he was sent to the flying school at Oxford to qualify as a pilot, was commissioned second-lieutenant in the Australian Flying Corps on October 20, 1917, and for a while at the end of that year was employed in "ferrying" machines across the English Channel to squadrons in France. Airmen were frequently employed on this work before being called on for service over the fighting lines. In March,1918, Lieut. Ross was sent to join the 2nd Australian Flying Squadron (fighting scouts, S.E.5's) at Beauvais. This squadron, which had previously done some hard scouting work east of the line at Arras, was moved to Beauvais (between Amiens and Paris) shortly after the German offensive began, and did fine work in bombing the roads during the German advance. The squadron was not long away from the British front, and soon moved north again to the St. Pol area. Here, after the German break through on the Portuguese front on the Lys, the 2nd Squadron (and the 4th Australian Squadron, too) again performed brilliant work, scouting and fighting over the Hun lines every possible day. Their enthusiasm mounted with the great work done below them on the ground by the 1st Australian Division at Merris. The Australian airmen would go out in couples or larger flights, and scour the sky far over the German lines for any Hun machines that showed. Our superiority in the air was by this time undoubted. It was in one of these fights (over Douai in August, 1918) that Lieut. Ross was wounded. Five Australian machines met eleven Huns, engaged at once in combat, and dispersed them after shooting down two of the enemy. All our machines returned, though
two were slightly damaged, and Lieut. Ross was shot through the thigh. He succeeded, however, in bringing his machine safely home.
Lieut. Ross was sent to hospital in England, and did not return to France again before the armistice.
