RETURNING HEROES
TROOPER F. LOCKHART AND PTE. PATERSON.
By a hospital ship that arrived at Fremantle to-day, two young men who answered the call from Busselton are returning, Trooper Frank Lockhart and Pte. E. J. Patterson.
Trooper Lockhart is the youngest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Lockhart, and a brother to Mrs. H.S. Needham, of the Rectory, Busselton. He left with the 10th Light Horse, and was wounded after being seven days in the trenches. So far as is known, his first wound was not looked upon as particularly serious. After it happened, he was sent behind the firing line to guard a magazine situated in what was considered to be a safe spot. On the way he saw some comrades badly pressed at Quinn's Post, and went to their assistance. There the Australians repulsed the enemy and successfully occupied the trenches. This settled, Trooper Lockhart proceeded to the magazine mentioned, and had just reached the supposed safety zone when a chance shot struck him on one hip, passed through the lower portion of the body, and out through the other leg, while another unlucky shot entered his foot. Subsequently he passed through the ordeal of three operations, and is now convalescent, the chief trouble at present being the foot.
