URL3: Amongst the hundred or so families on the Ricbmond that contributed men to the contingents that went from New South Wales to the war, Lismore can claim two families sending five and four representatives respectively. The first is that of Mr. James CLARKE, of Lismore. Two of the sons went with Queensland contingents, and two have returned home and then gone a second time to the front. The second family is that of Mr. SAVILLE, of Lismore, whose two sons, George and Fred, returned home last week [c5.1902], having enlisted with the Fifth Queensland Contingent. One brother, William, preceded their return some time since, while a fourth brother, Alfred, after serving through the war from the commencement, has remained in South Africa, having joined the mounted police. In each of the families named every son went to the front, which, perhaps, is something of a record.
