The Age (Melbourne, Victoria) 4-8-1916
News was received by cable yesterday that Captain Charles Arblaster, officer commanding D Company, 53rd Battalion has been killed in action in France. Captain Arblaster, who was a Footscray boy, was only 21 years of age, and his early promotion was due, in part, to the fact that he gained one of the first Duntroon College scholarships. After completing a three years' military course at the college he was given a lieutenancy at the
outbreak of war, and left with the Eighth Australian Light Horse. He went through the whole of the Gallipoli campaign with a machine gun section, and was wounded. He was one of the twenty-five survivors of his company after the Lone Pine charge. Deceased was well known at Footscray,
and the news that his promising career has been cut short will be learned with deep regret.

That of Major Hay, of the Royal Scots, unhappily, is almost certain A number of mutineers from Kleshohuevo, where the major was stationed, state that he was shot defending himself; others that he and the Russian officers with him made a stand, all eventually using their last bullet on themselves. At the same place was another British officer, Captain Brown, of the
Australian Imperial Force. This officer arrived in the lines, and found the sentries sitting down, smoking and arguing. Through his interpreter he ordered them to stand up and 'not to play the fool.' They replied in English, 'Finish officer' and tried to arrest him. Alone among these scores of armed, hostile men Captain Brown reacted with the promptness and unshakable courage of the typical British officer. He shot two men dead,
and wounded a third, before being shot and bayoneted to death." Any friends in Queensland of the late Captain Brown are invited to communicate with his father, Mr. Alfred Brown, 1 Pomona Docks, Manchester.

LATE LIEUTENANT JOHN SCOTT GAMBLE.
A large congregation gathered in the Preston Methodist Church on Sunday evening, November 4th, when a most impressive memorial service was held in memory of the late Lieutenant John Scott Gamble, who had fallen whilst nobly leading his men in one of the recent severe
battles in France. From childhood he had associated himself with the Sabbath school, passing through all the classes, finally filling with zeal and ability the office of secretary when enlisting. How tender was the esteem in which the brave soldier laddie was held, was evinced by the keeping open by Mr. J. C. Nankervis and staff, the position, should God spare him to return. At home and abroad amongst his' comrades, the late lieutenant made a lasting impression by his manly, consistent, Christian, character, never lowering the flag of a pure life, but keeping his record clean. Feeling and beautiful tributes to the sterling qualities of the promising young officer were paid by Rev. Jeffries, who prior to enlisting had married Lieutenant Gamble to the sorrowing widow who mourns her loss, and Hon. W. H. Edgar, M.L.C., a former superintendent of the school,
under whom he had enrolled as a scholar in the infant class. The choir effectively rendered several appropriate anthems, whilst the service
of praise, was deeply touching during the singing of inspiring hymns full of confident hope and victory.
