Biography contributed by Daryl Jones
A private cable message was received in Melbourne on Saturday announcing that Captain Henry Rupert Hawkins, flight commander in the Royal Flying Corps, who was reported missing some weeks ago, is now a prisoner in Germany. Captain Hawkins is an old boy of Melbourne Church of England Grammar School, and he was in residence at Trinity College when he decided to go to England to volunteer for the Royal Flying Corps.
