Details: Death of Colonel G. J. Burnage Colonel Granville John Burnage, V.D.. C.B., who commanded the 13th Battalion at Gallipoli, died yesterday at his residence at Carey Bay, Toronto. Colonel Burnage had a military record of distinction covering more than 40 years. The funeral will take place to- morrow morning. The Dean of New castle (Very Rev. A. E. Morris) will conduct a service at Christ Church Cathedral at 11 a.m, before proceeding to Beresfield Crematorium. Mr H. L. Wheeler said no man in Newcastle deserved a higher tribute than Colonel Burnage. His comrades referred to him in their battalion history as the bravest man God made said Mr. Mark Reid. Born at Dungog in 1859, Colonel Burnage joined the militia in 1878, became lieutenant four years later, commanded the 4th Infantry Regiment, and was in charge of Newcastle defence from 1903 to 1913. He served with the 3rd New South Wales Mounted Rifles during the South African War and received the Queen s Medal with five clasps. In 1914 he was asked to form the 13th Battalion. Colonel Burnage took part in severe fighting round Dead Mans Ridge, Gallipoli, and was blown up by a shell and wounded. Later he was in charge of transports from Australia. In 1918 he was on the Barunga when it was torpedoed. All the troops were saved, and Colonel Burnage was last to leave. From 1918, Colonel Burnage was commanding officer of the 2/13th Battalion. A.M.F. until 1921, when he retired, aged 62. When a record of the battalion s war service was published with the title The Glorious 13th Battalion there were many references to his brave conduct on Gallipoli. In 1939, on his 80th birthday, more than 100 of his old comrades honoured him at a dinner at Toronto Hotel. Colonel Burnage was an executive of the firm of T. Burnage and Son. He leaves a widow and sister. His brother died some months ago

Details: The great accumulation of geological knowledge which the community now has about Seaham is due to the labours of many. The distinguished leader and teacher of geology, Professor Sir T. W Edgeworth David, who has left such an enduring mark on the history of the Hunter, made some preliminary studies when conducting the coal survey from 1884 onward. He paid tribute in later years to the help and hospitality of his friend, John W. Boag, Laird o Seaham whose death this week removes Seaham s most picturesque figure. He died on his 88th birthday. All but his first eight years were spent in this district, and he continued until recent years to be one of the most active men in local public life. He was educated for the Presbyterian Ministry, but devoted 60 years to rural pursuits. When he retired he owned and controlled one of the finest dairying properties on the Williams River. It is known as Burnbrae at Seaham and is in possession of his son, James. Mr. Boag was Chairman of the Citizens Committee which, in 1935, celebrated the centenary of thy village, and to which was drawn for the occasion a distinguishhed scientific gathering……
