THE LATE MR. GORDON HOLLIS.
News has come from Quairading, W.A., of the passing of Gordon, twin son of Mrs. and the late Mr. H. Hollis, formerly of Laura. Gordon enlisted in the 16th Battalion in 1914 in W.A. where the three brothers had taken up land and he was wounded at Gallipoli and suffered incapacitation from a paralysed arm for the rest of his life and heart trouble caused his sudden end. His mother is in Peterborough with her daughter Connie (Mrs. Morgan). Fred of Tusmore and Archie, of Perth are brothers. Gordon's son Rod, was killed in action in the Middle East and another son Ken, is in the RAN.
