here that you have heard of before.
For instance there is one of the Bartons from Wellington here, a trooper in the 6th, he is a returned man having done 19 weeks in Gallipoli and then got enteric.
Then Rostron knows Miss Miller & also the Crossings; his people have Uliwah Coonamble, near Wingadee.
There is also a man named Keer who lived on Oakey Creek and knows Dick White.
His father and old McAllister worked their passage out from England on the same boat he says.
Of course there are some awful wasters here but there are tons of good men to make up for them.
