HEROES. THE AUSTRALIANS.BIOGRAPHICAL. LATE PTE. G. R. BATES, M.M.

The late Pte. G. R. Bates, who was the first soldier to enlist from Kangaroo Island, has been awarded the Military Medal, and his father, Mr. H. Bates, has received a letter from Major Reid, officer commanding the battalion of which his son was a member. The epistle states—"It is with feelings of admiration at the gallantry of a brave Australian soldier, who nobly laid down his life in the services of his King and country, that I am directed to forward to you, as next of kin of the late Pte. G. R. Bates, of the 10th Battalion, the Military Medal, which the King has been pleased to award to your son for conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty while serving with the A.I.F. I am also to ask you to accept his deep personal sympathy in the loss which you have sustained."
