The Warden Brothers.
Mr. R. J. Hinder, B.A., headmaster of the Sydney Boys' Hiffh School, Writes to say that many old boys of Maitland High School  will remember Airlie and Colin Warden, who were sons of Mr. A. A. Warden, living at Dunmore House. Airlie enlisted in Queensland, and passed through a course of training in Egypt, going on to Gallipoli. He was wounded some weeks ago by a  bullet, which passed through the top of his right lung and out through the shoulder blade, shattering it. He has made good  progress towards recovery. The lung has healed up and the shoulder blade Is doing well. He has been invalided to England.  Colin enlisted in New Zealand, and was in the first landing, and has been in the thick of the fighting till recently. He performed  many heroic deeds, and was mentioned in dispatches for conspicuous bravery. Ho had recently been attached to the Intelligencd Service. Sad to say, the latest casualty lists contain his name, and his mother, who lives at Neutral Bay, received a  cable a few days ago announcing that he had been killed in action. He was a most courteous and amiable lad, greatly beloved by all who know him.

PRIVATE C. A. WARDEN.
Private Colin Airlie Warden (killed in action) was 25 years of age, and the second son of the late Mr. A. A. Warden and of Mrs. Warden, of Lindsay-street, Neutral Bay. He was an engineer by profession, and was for some years in the employ of the C.S.R.  Co. He afterwards went to Fiji to follow his profession, and on the outbreak of war volunteered from there, and went to Samoa. He was one of the ten men who hauled down the Imperial German Standard from the Government House at Apia. Private Warden  was a native of Largs, in the Maitland district, and was educated at the Maitland High School.
