Extract from The Melbourne Argus, Saturday, 29 January 1916 -
"We gave our comrade to our country.
There were those who gave their gold.
Others who gave their treasure,
Service and skill untold.
We had no skill to offer,
We had no wealth to spend,
It was our greatest glory,
To have a comrade to send."
