JULIAN EDMUND McGUIRE, the fifth son of the Railways Commissioner (Mr. J. McGuire), who died of wounds on August 26, was born at Wallaroo. He was educated at the Sacred Heart College, and subsequently entered upon a business and commercial career. He enlisted as a member of the 4th Field Ambulance in January, 1915, and sailed for the front on August 28 following. He served for some time on Gallipoli, and at the evacuation was one of the last to leave the Peninsula. Later he was sent to France, where, after three years' continuous service, he died of wounds on August 26 at the 41st Casualty Clearing Station. Two other sons of Mr. McGuire have been killed in the present war, while a fourth is still on active service.
