This CD contains a complete run of the Scottish Australasian for 1918. First published in December 1909, the journal wanted "to help the young folk of Scottish parentage to better understand the history, literature and songs of the land of their forefathers". The journals have articles on a wide range of topics relating to Scotland – articles on well known Scots in Australasia, Scottish Songstresses, Scottish heroes of the war, ships of long ago, obituaries, the clans, and much more.
Killed in Action.
The many friends of Mr. Russell Sinclair, of Kirribilli, will regret to hear that his son Lieut. E. R. Sinclair, M.C., of the 7th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, was killed in action in France on October 13. The young officer went to England in February, 1916, and joined his regiment in October of that year. He was seriously wounded on September 20, 1917, and was awarded the Military Cross. He went back to the field in August last, and fell on the day stated, a brave soldier and an esteemed officer. The young man was educated at the Sydney Church of England Grammar School, and there is widespread regret that another life of such promise has been cut off.
This CD contains high quality scanned images of the original journals issued in 1918. These have been bookmarked for easy navigation. Pages can be searched, browsed, enlarged and printed out if required.
