• RIFLEMAN E. L. SIMS. Rifleman Eric Lane Sims, killed in action, was the only son of Mr. Joe A. Sims, of Disraeli Street, Mount Eden. He was born in Paraguay, South America, 22 years ago, and came to Auckland with his parents at an early age. After attending the Mount Eden and Auckland Grammar Schools, he went to the Ruakura Farm of instruction, and was then fanning until he enlisted at Gisborne at the age of 20. He sailed with the 24th Reinforcements.
