    Corporal T. N. McFarland, of the machine-gun section, killed in action on October 12, was the son of Mrs. McFarland, of Disraeli Road, Epsom. For some time prior to the outbreak of war he was accountant in the Lawrence branch of the Bank of New South Wales. He left New Zealand as a private with the Main Body. In the Gallipoli campaign he was wounded and invalided to England, but rejoined his unit before the transfer to France. In the Somme offensive he was wounded a second time. (Auckland Weekly News, 20 December 1917, p. 20) AWMM
