Commonwealth Fleet loses two steamers to enemy action
The Commonwealth fleet suffered losses as two steamers, Australdale and Australtrawlwas, were sunk by enemy action in October and November. The Australdale, first unit of the Met toy fall, was torpedoed outward from England with four crew dead or missing and others saved. Details on the other vessel indicate a similar fate with crew losses and rescues. The Austra, built 1907, had served in Melbourne under the Commonwealth banner since 1916, while Australdale’s history traces to Glasgow and Bris bane before its Australian duty.

De Baars Will Case Questions Testator Mind
The case of Frenri de Baera of Ararat, probated in January 1951, questions the will’s validity due to alleged lack of capacity and undue influence. The daughter sues through her mother as guardian, citing the testator’s statements about devils and bombs and fear of lawyers and doctors as evidence of his state of mind while the will was made.
