Notes

"The members of the family of the late Richard and Amelia Renfree of Durham street have been officially notified that their youngest brother had died in the Fulham Military Hospital, England, on 10th November, cause not stated. The deceased was one of the first to enlist in Victoria, having marched out to the Broadmeadows Camp with the first batch of volunteers early in August, 1914. He had been on active service ever since, serving in the Light Horse Ambulance in Egypt, Gallipoli, and France. His brother, Richard, returned a few months ago, after having had over two years service."[1]
