Full Record
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.

B5172: next of kin in Worthing Sussex Eng.
URL2: SERGEANTS' WELCOME HOME. There was a time of unalloyed pleasure at the Sergeants' Institute, Treasury Chambers, on Saturday evening last [3.5.1902], when the members assembled in strong force to extend a welcome-home to their fellow non- commissioned officers of the Fifth Queensland Imperial Bushmen. Quartermaster Sergeant EDE occupied the Chair in the unavoidable absence of the Garrison Sergeant-major CHALMERS, and the visitors of the Fifth Contingent present included Lieutenant LOYNES, Sergeant-major PRICE (warrant officer), Sergeant-major BYRNES, Quartermaster-sergeant GOODE, Sergeant majors WILLIAMS, KNYVETT, BOWMAN and Sergeants NAYLOR, COLLINS, LEETCH, CB and AB CORBETT, LACEY, AYSCOUGH, FERGUSON, MARSH, HINTON and ARMSTRONG.

Please email me if you can
contribute any other relevant information about this person (eg any
other military service, where in Australia they came from or when/where
they died). Also, if you find an external link broken.
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.
