Biographical Notes:

"News was received privately in Waimate on Monday that Corporal E. Rickman, of the mounted portion of the Main Expeditionary Force, had been killed in action at the Dardanelles. Corporal Rickman was a native of Waimate, being a son of the late Mr T. M. Rickman, one of the first stud sheep owners in Waimate. Corporal Rickman finished his schooling in Ashburton, where his mother now lives. He there joined the staff of Friedlander Bros, as auction clerk and came to Waimate as clerk to Mr Leslie O'Callaghan. He was a keen football, golf, and tennis player, and a good rider to hounds."
