The deceased chaplain enlisted from Smythesdale as a private and went into camp at Broadmeadows, being made a chaplain when he was over in France. As he had three brothers in the firing line, the late Father Henehan was not satisfied until he enlisted and went over to them. Deceased was well-liked and highly respected by all classes in the Smythesdale parish. When he enlisted he was curate in charge of the Cressy church ; and he was also a curate in Port Fairy during the years 1908-10.
