'PUBLIC NOTICES.
It having been falsely reported in Sorell that my son, Private William Barnard, has returned from Egypt as "an undesirable." I wish, in justice to him, to deny this cowardly slander. My son has now returned to the Front as a Lance-Corporal, which speaks for itself. Should these reports be insisted upon, proceedings will be taken against the slanderers. A. G. BARNARD, Sorell, Oct. 19, 1915.' from The Mercury 21 Oct 1915 (nla.gov.au)
