Son of Whitmore LOGAN and Harriet nee JOSEY; husband of Mrs. B. M. Logan, of Forest Hill, Queensland.

Major T. J. Logan, whose death was reported in yesterday's  Courier," was born at Brookfield 38 years ago. At an early ago he became a member of the volunteer Mounted Infantry Corps, and as a private joined the first contingent of Mounted Infantry for the South African war. He remained with his company until its return, in the meanwhile taking part in many stiff engagements, particularly that at Sannas Post, where Major (then private) Logan was shot through the knee, and had to spend some time in hospital. Rapidly recovering from the wound, he again joined his brigade, and, without further mishap, returned home to Forest Hill, where he followed farm pursuits very successfully. By close attention to his duties he qualified for an officer's commission, and left with the Second Light Horse for Egypt, then on to the Dardanelles, where, on August 6 he was killed in action. Photographs of the Logan family, representing four brothers, appeared in a recent issue of the "Courier." Since then the elder brother has fallen, the younger brother has been wounded, and another has been reported ill at Malta, while Captain W.C. Logan is with a company of Light Horse Reinforcements. The family has 10 cousins either at the Front or on the way thereto—all lads from the
country, and all of a soldier strain representative of the best that Queensland can furnish. The deceased officer was a nephew of Mrs. D Jones, Petrie-terrace.
He leaves a widow and six children, who are resident at Forest Hill. The deceased soldier was always identified with every progressive movement in his district, and will be much missed.
