Capt. George P. Evans, son of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Evans, of Western Australia, and formerly of this State, was killed in action in France on August 14. Mr. Evans was formerly railway station master at Semaphore, Woodville, and Largs Bay, and Capt. Evans spent his early years in those districts.

Philip Pedler, of Madras Staff Corps Native Infantry, India, and his great-grandfather was Capt. John Pedler, R.N., who served in the battles of Copenhagen and the Nile under Lord Nelson.
