FIRST LOCAL BOY HOME

PRIVATE ERIC ELLIS

Saturday was a day of rejoicing for Mrs. and Miss Una Ellis, of Warren Road, for they had with them their soldier son and brother, Private Eric Ellis, who incidentally, is the first Gilgandra boy to return to our town from the Middle East.

Eric's stay was only brief, just sufficient to have lunch at home, but it was grand to see him again, and especially as he looked so well.
