Lieutenant Newman Tremearae, wounded at Rensburg, comes from Creswick, where his father is a doctor, and who belongs to a very old Cornish family. Lieutenant Tremearne is barely out of his teens. His great-grandfather, when a captain in the Royal Navy, figured prominently in the American War of 1814. Having missed a commission in the Vic. Permanent Artillery the lieutenant went on with his medical studies, and had not completed his course when the war called him out. His mother is a daughter of the late F. N. Martin, of the Ballarat Star. Tremearne is a tall, spare-looking young fellow, with gentle, almost girlish, eyes, but just the man to do all that is asked of him, as he evidently has done.
