Killed In Action 25 Sep 1918 at Semakh, Palestine. Grave: Haifa War Cemetery, Israel, B.60.

Notes: Military Cross (MC), Mentioned in despatches (MiD). Many Turks and Germans were concealed in railway trucks and carriages, with most inside the buildings, at the railway station in Semakh, a small town on the southern shore of Lake Tiberias (the Sea of Gallilee). 'A' and 'B' Squadrons of the 11th Light Horse attacked after being fired on: 'A hot fire-fight developed at revolver range, and for more than an hour the struggle was stationary. But some Australian machine-gunners, who with the remaining squadron had been ordered round to the east and south-east by Grant, made it impossible for the Germand to hold the windows of the buildings, and so substantially reduced the enemy's fire. At dawn the two squadrons rushed in on the concealed enemy. The fighting was bitter and bloody. The garrison, outnumbering the Australians by two to one, and made up largely of Germans, had, in addition to their extraordinary position and their machine-guns, and ample store of hand-grenades. They fought with exceptional boldness and stubbornness, their courage stimulated by an abundance of rum. But the Australians would not be denied. While the squadron on the east was fighting among earthworks and railway carriages, Loynes' men, rushing from their cover, battered in the doors of the main station building, and entering one by one, followed the Germans and Turks in the darkness from floor to floor and room to room with the bayonet. Captain W.F. Whitfield, Captain H.J. Gee, and Lieutenant F.G. Farlow were killed in this fighting, but there was no pause in the struggle until the whole of the enemy force was destroyed or captured.' (Gullett p733) Died as Lieutenant, 11th Light Horse Regiment. Name commemorated on the Maclean, NSW, memorial.

Notes: 'At about this time the use of hydraulic sluicing as an offensive weapon was raised by Sergeant D. Fraser, of 'C' Squadron, 5th Regiment. Several of the Turkish trenches were within a few yards of our front line. Fraser pointed out that if a powerful hydraulic sluicing plant was available, the parapet and head cover on these trenches could be washed away in the course of a few seconds. Salt water could be pumped up from the sea and brought by pipes to our front-line trenches and then thrown on to the enemy lines ... Sergeant Fraser first mentioned this to Major Wilson, to whom the scheme seemed an excellent one. ...Final arrangements, however, had not been made by the time of the evacuation, so the scheme was not actually put into force.' (Wilson p24). Name appears in 'Roll of Officers Returned', 'The Spirit of the Forty-second' (42 Bn Unit History; Brahms, Vivian. p.137).
