June 20, 1919
Pte. B.P. NEILL, brother of Mrs D. McPHEE, of Minimay, arrived home on 6th
inst., after an absence of over three and a half years, nearly two and a
half years of which he spent as a prisoner of war in Germany. He now looks
well but when repatriated December last, was four stone below his normal
weight, the result of starvation. Another brother Pte. Jas. NEILL arrived
in Melbourne on 12th inst. and reached Goroke on Tuesday. Pte T. DELANEY,
formally of Morea, arrived on the same boat.
