Mr. F.W. GRABSCH (associated with Messrs. YOUNG Bros.) will hold sales of
sheep, cattle, horses, implements, etc., on Thursday, March 25, on account
of Mr. M. BRODY and Mr. W. SPONG. The sale is to be held on the farm of the
former at Telangatuk East.
Both Mr. BRODY and Mr. SPONG, who have resided in the Telangatuk district

consequence.

Hi All
I was given this URL today and wondered how many of you knew about it. I just found 16 pages on my Great Uncle. There are lots of statements, etc, from mates who were able to prove that a soldier had died or been wounded and often just where he was buried. In some cases more info than on the WW1 Database. Detailed descriptions as the Red Cross were trying to prove that they had the right person. They are all WW1 and are digital images of the actual docs.

Hi Jan,
Always happy to get feedback on WWM, thanks for taking the time to email me
about what you found.
You not knowing he was president of the Shire is a bit embarrassing for me.
I was deliberately not typing up the shire meeting notes, thought they would
be too boring, I have deprived you of an important fact for a long time.
Sorry for that.
Cheers,
Daryl

without any warning, stuck BRAY a cowardly blow in the mouth, cutting his

Natimuk v Horsham Methodists
An evenly contested match was played at Natimuk on Saturday between the
above teams, resulting in a win for the home side by 10 runs, but the
display of batting on both sides was poor. The Methodists scored 50 of
which HOSKIN made 30 not out, MacLENNAN (5 for 22) and ROWLEY (5 for 27)
bowling well for Natimuk. The home team opened poorly, four of the best
bats failing to score. The reliable MERTON saved the situation by scoring
