The S.S. Moravian ' arrived in Melbourne from the Cape on Wednesday with invalided soldiers aboard. Amongst them are Corporal G. W. Anderson, of the Mounted Infantry (from Rookwood) and Trooper George Boulton also of the Mounted Infantry (Irom Parramatta formerly of the 3rd N.S.W. Regiment). Boulton is said to be suffering from weak wrists. It is possible, however, that the death of his wife in Parramatta a couple of months ago has had something to do with his return.
