Inspector H. U. Lyon has received letters from his two sons, both of whom are members of the Australian Light Horse. Trooper Gordon Lyon, after 13 weeks in the trenches at Gallipoli, has been invalided to Heliopolis, Egypt. He is suffering from shrapnel wounds and shock, and on arrival in Egypt he was in hospital for six weeks. Unfortunately for the young soldier, enteric fever supervened on his other illness, and he has been sent to Port Said, and later on expects to either go to England or return home. Trooper Clive Lyon has arrived in Egypt after what he describes as a good passage. When he arrived, with the 4th Reinforcements of the Light Horse, he made inquiries for his brother and succeeded in seeing Gordon in hospital. He found him in unsatisfactory state of health, his temperature when seen, owing to the fever he was being treated for, registering 103 deg. The patient shortly afterwards showed improvement, and was sent on to Port Said, as stated above.
