    3. I have scanned these, along with the sketches of Clendon and C. W. H. if interested. Maureen Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 8 Soldiers of Our Queen Trooper Clendon Callaghan, who went to South Africa with the Australian Mounted Infantry, in the "Southern Cross," on January 17, is the second son of Dr. Callaghan, J.P., of Windsor. Clen, as he is familiarly called, was one of the most popular young men in Windsor, and he received a royal send-off on the night that he took his departure from Windsor, a few days prior to sailing to South Africa. He is 21 years of age, and was born in Richmond. His primary education was received at home, under a governess, and he attended Mr. J. Gordon Young's High-school at the Peninsula for some years ; subsequently he was a student at the Windsor Grammar School, and when he volunteered for active service he was engaged in a business house in Sydney. He is the sort of man that should be useful in South Africa - being stout of heart, sturdy and robust of constitution, of good physique, and a splendid horseman. That all will go well with him while fighting for his Queen and country is t! he earnest prayer of those who know him or his good parents. Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 8 Corporal C. W. H. Coulter is also at the front. He sailed with the mounted section of the Army Medical Corps in the "Moravian" last month. Mr. Coulter was born in the Monara district, and is about 26 years of age. He has been "soldiering" ever since he was able to carry a gun, for as a school boy he belonged to a cadet corps, and has ever since been connected with one or other of the colonial forces. At Dubbo and Bega he was in the Mounted Rifles. Mr. Coulter is a telegraph operator, and came to Riverstone some eight months ago from Albury,having arranged an exchange with Mr. Schofield at Riverstone. Prior to that he was at Pambula. He did relieving duty in the Windsor office for a short time, and just prior to volunteering for South Africa he received an appointment in head office. Corporal Coulter made many friends on Windsor and Riverstone. He is a man of unassuming character and genial disposition, and that he is "real grit" is proved by his eagerness to go to t! he front in the Empire's cause. May no ill befall him is the wish of his many friends.
