Youngest son of Mr. David Kernohan, of Balmain, was born on January 15, 1885, and educated at the Forest Lodge Public School. His connection with the office began in 1909, when he entered the publishing department.
In March 1915, he enlisted and was alloted to the 2nd Battalion. He figured in several important engagements in France, notably at Pozieres. He was in the severe fighting at Hill 60, where he was wounded. For five months he was in hospital at Newcastle-on-Tyne, and had subsequently to undergo treatment at Harefield and other hospitals. He was invalided home at the end of 1917 and resumed duty in the office in February 1918 in the paper cutting department.
