Hint: This site is intended as a search aid - not a definitive source. It is essentially an index to documents that seem to relate to this person plus a very brief precis of relevant elements. Sources often conflict and I also flag things with a ? when I am unsure. So if the information below is important to you, then please check the original sources to see what else they contain (and in case I have inadvertantly introduced transcription and/or precising errors). There can be additional information that was not included in the database for both space and copyright reasons.

Argus: THE BUSHVELDT CARBINEERS. SYDNEY, Thursday, [5.6.1902]. Among the troops who returned from South Africa by the transport Aurania was Lieutenant CHG HANNAM, formerly attached to the Bushveldt Carbineers. He had as brother officers Lieutenants MORANT, HANDCOCK, PICTON and WITTON, and was with the corps when Captain HUNT was killed. With regard to WITTON, Lieutenant HANNAM gives it as his opinion that something should be done. WITTON he says was only a boy one of those quiet sort of fellows who would not harm anybody - but, unfortunately, he was easily led. It never seemed to strike him that he had done anything unlawful, and when he heard that his trial was pending he remarked that it would be jolly bad luck if he even got cashiered.
Ad. Observer: comments re MORANT and HANDCOCK 6.1902.

Apology: For some time now it has been difficult to keep up with the newly available sources (especially the Trove newspaper site) plus the flow of contributions and queries. So I have been forced to prioritise maintenance and data entry over replying to correspondence. Nevertheless, your contributions are being added to the database and acknowledged on the contributions page and, although my replies are many months behind, I will attempt to get to them more often.
