Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Mr. Lindsay Millard, Brisbane manager for R.G. Dun and Co., has been informed that his brother Mr H.E. Millard is reported missing. Mr H.E. Millard was formerly well known in Queensland, and before the war broke out was managing a sugar plantation on the Ba River Fiji, for the Vancouver-Fiji Sugar Co. He went home with the Fiji Contingent, most of the members of which were attached to the King's Royal Rifle Corps, including Mr. Milland. By the last English mail, Mr. L Millard received a post card from his brother saying he was quite well, and Mr. Millard says: "It is one of the hard things about this awful war that one should get a message like that one day, and bad news the next." Mr. H.E. Millard was very well known in certain trading quarters of Brisbane, as he traded about the Pacific in copra, &c , for some time before settling in Fiji.
