Awarded Distinguished Conduct Medal
'At Delsaux Farm on the 18th March 1917 C.S.M. Reginald Harrington displayed conspicuous bravery, coolness and devotion to duty. While B Company 59th Battalion was advancing to drive the enemy out of Delsaux Farm, C.S.M. Harrington volunteered to go ahead and reconcile the position. He did so, and took up a position commanding the best observation, but which was a most exposed and dangerous one. While lying there observing C.S.M. Harrington was wounded, but remained at his post three hours, afterwards giving extremely valuable information. He was exposed to heavy and accurate machine gun fire and to constant sniping. The action greatly contributed to the success of the operation, which resulted in the position and important documents being captured.'

THE LATE LIEUTENANT FREDERICK HARVEY.
The late Lieutenant Frederick Harvey, killed in action on November 12 in Palestine, was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Harvey, King's Park. He was one of the first to enlist from South Australia with the Light Horse, and at the time was eighteen years of age. He sailed with the lst Expeditionary Force from Australia for Egypt. Later he accompanied his unit to Gallipoli on May 2, 1915, and fought throughout that campaign until the evacuation. Subsequently he took an active part in the heavy fighting in Egypt, where the Australian Light Horse distinguished themselves so conspicuously. The young soldier, through his devotion to duty, soldierly qualities, and gallantry, was promoted on the field to the rank of lieutenant. He waswounded in the Raffa battle. Quickly recovering, he joined his unit again and fought through many fierce battles up till his death at the age of 21 years 11 months after over three years active service. Fred (as he was known by many) was a prominent lacrosseur, and played with the Goodwood team. He was a member of the Goodwood Presbyterian Young Men's Bible Class. Prior to enlisting he was employed on the staff of Messrs. Colton, Palmer, & Preston. He was of a bright, cheerful disposition, and made many friends both in civil and military life, and the loss of this fine example of Australian manhood is keenly felt. His elder brother, Lieutenant J. McF. Harvey, has been, on active service from the beginning of the war.
