Mrs .M. Shearer, of Ballarat street, Yarrarville, has five sons who have re sponded to the call. There are also two younger sons who, although too young to enlist, express their deter- nuination to follow in their brothers' footsteps when the opportunity pre sents itself. Private W. Shearer an Anzac, saw 12 months' service at Gal lipoli and elsewhere, but was incapaci tated by a very serious illness and was invalided home. Gunner F. L. Shear or, after 12 months' service on the West front, contracted trench fever, which confined him to hospital for some time. He has recovered from the attack and is back again in the trenches. Whilst returning he met his brother John, who is also serving on the West front. Lance Corporal R. N. Shearer, popularly known as "Bob," after being rejected on four or five oc casions, succeeded at last in passing the test, and has now rejoined his brothers at the front. Private George Shearer, who left Australia some five months ago, became seriously ill and is expected to return shortly. Mrs Shearer also has two brothers and two nephews serving in the colors. Lance-Corporal "Bob" Shearer is well and popularly known in football circles-having been one of Yarra ville's prominent players for years. In writing to his mother, he encloses the following verse:- Fight for it, work for it, one of the two, It matters not which so long as you do Your best to uphold it, and keep it still flying The flag of Australia that ever is try ing For right and for justice to answer the call For fairness to others aid freedom for all.
