From The Moora Herald and Midland Districts Advocate newspaper, Friday 11 August 1916:
Following the death of Herbert Horatio CLARK the following piece appeared within the newspaper's Three Springs Notes...
"Another burial of an infant, this time from Carnamah, in our local cemetery, once again brings to my mind the urgent necessity of some kind of district nursing scheme, such as mentioned by me some time ago. Our cemetery is, unfortunately, beginning to show that the grim harvester death has been at work all too frequently and with one exception all the graves contain infants. As most infants' deaths are caused through want of a little elementary knowledge in infantile complaints, surely a little of the energy directed to sending our men folk to death or glory, could be spared to evolve some scheme to save the lives of infants who are sadly needed to fill the gaps caused by war. This is a State matter and not one to be handled by any single community."
