WOMAN IS PROUD OF HER FIVE SOLDIER SONS

Justly proud of her "fighting family" is Mrs Teresa Baxter, of 133 Wilson street, West Brunswick, five of whose sons are now in khaki. In addition, she has a number of nephews and other relatives at the front. Private W. T. Baxter, the eldest son, was wounded three times in the Gallipoli fighting. He recovered and returned to duty.
Sergeant Robert Baxter also has been wounded three times. At last report he was doing home service duty in Egypt. Private G. A. Baxter was married recently, only a short time before his departure for the front. Private Percy Baxter, is at the front, and Private Leonard Baxter expects to be there shortly.
