The Mayor of Mount Albert, Mr. Murdoch McLean, has received information from the Adjutant-General of the Forces, and also from the Prime Minister that his eldest surviving son, Private John Raymond McLean, was killed in action at the Dardanelles on May 25. Deceased, who was 29 years of age, was educated at King's College, and was a member of the Old Boys’ Association. He was keenly interested in boxing, and about 10 years ago, when a member of the College Rifles, he won the provincial volunteer forces’ middle-weight boxing championship at the competitions during the visit of the American fleet. He was a member of the West End Rowing Club. For several years he was employed with his father, and worked with him on the Otira tunnel contract, and three years ago he engaged in mining in Australia. He joined the 14th Battalion of the First Australian Expeditionary Force. Another of Mr. McLean’s sons, Neil, only 20 years of age, left for Trentham on Friday, and a third son holds a commission in the Territorial Force. He will leave for the front when appointed to a company. (Auckland Weekly News, 3 June 1915, p. 20) AWMM
