NOTES : Southern Downs veteran Arthur Chambers was posthumously Mentioned In Dispatches. His brother Stuart Chambers 4 was also killed in action, but thankfully his other brothers Howard Chambers 764 and Leslie Norman Alec Chambers 5 returned home to Australia. His parents Oliver Cronwell and Ellen Chambers were living at Loch Lomond at this time.

Many enlisted, most returned home, too many paid the ultimate sacrifice.
