To the list of chaplains who have lately gone to the front is to be added the Rev. T. C. Robinson, who as a chaplain at the Base Hospital on St.Kilda road, has done work which will long be remembered by the soldiers.
The good-will of all who know Mr Robinson goes with him. He has won great popularity among the men in uniform, and his long experience of chaplaincy duties in the hospitals makes him especially fitted for work at the front.

CLERGYMAN IN BANKRUPTCY
Creditors Will Receive £349
An order for the distribution of £349 among creditors of Rev. Thomas Charles Robinson, Orrong-crescent, Caulfleld, a former company and hospital secretary, whose debts amounted to over £6000, was made by Mr. Justice-Clyne in the Bankruptcy Court yesterday. His Honor advised Mr. Robinson to petition for a discharge from insolvency. In the Bankruptcy Court last week Mr. M. V. Mclnerney for the creditors, stated that Mr. Robinson had voluntarily filed his schedule In 1928 through the failure of a number of business concerns of which he was secretary or a principal. Liabilities were shown as £4513 owing on mortgages, £153 owing to unsecured creditors and £2153 owing to secured creditors. Assets Included property valued at £5395 which, after payment of mortgages, had a nominal value of £2879. Personal Property was shown as £850, including 511 shares In Property Purchase Co. Pty. Ltd., with a facevalue of £380. Mr. Robinson's book debts were shown at £1629 of which £1400 were in the doubtful category, and £200 regarded as bad. The list showed 36 unsecured, and 11 secured creditors. Mr. Robinson's first., trustee died. In 1945 his affairs were further complicated when most of the insolvency papers were lost. The new trustee, Mr. Herbert Kennedy, then sought an order from Mr. Justice Clyne that would straighten out the complicated affairs. Yesterday's evidence showed that Mr. Kennedy had £349 in hand, representing Mr. Robinson's share in his father's estate.
