A news article in The Cumberland Argus and Fruitgrowers Advocate from Saturday 30 September 1911 reads as follows, 'Parramatta Company of 3rd Regt. Infantry possibly boasts of more long-service men than any other company in the Commonwealth. Private Ellis Hines is one of the distinguished in this respect. He joined the Goulburn corps in 1873, and has been at the game ever since. He attends his last parade to-day, after nearly 40 years' service. For some years past he has been residing at Coledale, and has travelled from there at his own expense to attend parade. Lately he applied for a free pass, to enable him to attend parade, and, this being refused, he has decided to resign. Of the seven men who represented the Company in the Boer War, Private Hines is the last man to send in his kit. A presentation will be made to the veteran today.'

With a copy of the unit medal roll - states a duplicate medal returned 20/12/06.
