chrislock Posted 23 March , 2004 Share Posted 23 March , 2004 Have just returned from the Somme and read a wonderful article on the above soldier in Tommies Bar. Any pal visiting, look his article up on the wall! Amazing man! The only soldier with a bounty on his head, by the Kaiser!! If anyone has the article, could you please post it? The pals would love it! Chris. (Perhaps Mr Mel Gibson could play him in a film!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgardiner1418 Posted 23 March , 2004 Share Posted 23 March , 2004 I have read that he was born in Liverpool and went over to Australia to make his fortune. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted 24 March , 2004 Share Posted 24 March , 2004 The Australian War Memorial magazine 'Wartime' did an article on him a year or two ago. His photo graced the front cover. (Mel Gibson is too American now, I think the Kiwi/Aussie Russell Crowe would do a good job in portraying Hines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Nixon Posted 24 March , 2004 Share Posted 24 March , 2004 I don't have the article but there is discussion on Hines at: http://www.ku.edu/carrie/archives/wwi-l/19...0/msg00461.html and a load of information, including the photograph that so incited the Kaiser at: http://www.anzacday.org.au/education/activ.../images/d4d.pdf Regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Nixon Posted 24 March , 2004 Share Posted 24 March , 2004 Chris Actually, having looked more closely at the second reference I gave, I think the article to which you refer - written in the sixties - is contained in this pdf document.

chrislock Posted 24 March , 2004 Author Share Posted 24 March , 2004 Paul, you are brilliant! The article and photo is there, this one is for the office wall,ha! What super reading on a bad day! Forget Mel Gibson, Mr Crowe would be much better I,m sure! Nice if we could of had the real thing though! Read it pals, you wont be dissapointed, I promise! Chris.
