"Ten years ago Mr. Roger Clark settled in the district under the repatriation scheme, and later acquired an adjoining block so that he now owns 1,788 acres. All of it is cleared and 1,000 acres is first class country. Mr. Clark served with the 28th Battalion and subsequently with the 2nd Machine Gun Battalion, and was on Gallipoli Peninsula and France. He is now captain of the Carnamah Rifle Club. This season he cropped 790 acres of wheat principally on fallow, the average yield being 21 bushels. About 450 acres were on his best land. His [wheat] varieties are Nabawa, Bena, Gresley and Merredin and he follows a three-year rotation. Gresley has been grown with much success for nine years, and this season so high a yield as 12 bags was obtained from it. Gresley is always cut for hay. The property is running 700 sheep at present, and 300 acres have been fallowed for next season. There is a plentiful supply of water from five wells."

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 14 November 1941:
"Obituary - Vale Leading Aircraftsman W. Clark. The news was received in Carnamah last week-end to the effect that Leading Aircraftsman W. ("Billy") Clark had paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving with the R.A.A.F. in the Middle East. The late "Billy" Clark was the son of Mr. E. J. ("Teddie") Clark, of Carnamah, and Mrs. Clark, of Victoria Park. He was born at Carnamah and was educated at the Carnamah State school. Upon leaving school he was employed at Mr. D. S. O'Grady's garage, and served his time as a mechanic. During the whole of this time he showed a remarkable aptitude for sport in all its branches, and like the whole Clark family was an outstanding footballer and cricketer, excelling particularly at football. Above all, he always played the game as it should be played. After serving his five years' apprenticeship he moved to the city, where he was employed as a salesman at Atkins Motors. Later he embarked in business on his own. During latter years he almost forsook his home town, but the majority of the older residents will have little difficulty in recalling this pleasing personality. A widow and small child are left to mourn their loss, and to them and his sorrowing mother and father and brothers and sisters our deepest sympathy is extended. Vale "Billy" Clark; he died that we might live. Two other brothers Eddie (Air Force) and George (A.I.F.) are also on active service abroad."

"Departure of Carnamah Residents - Probably at no period in the history of Carnamah has there been such an exodus of old residents as has taken part in the past 12 months, and still it goes on. The latest change will be the departure of Mrs. F. E. Brewer and family. The Brewer family came to Carnamah about nine years ago, during which time they have controlled the Carnamah Hotel, where they have kept a first-class "house" with genial hospitality, which earned a renowned reputation for the hotel throughout the North Midlands. Many residents and travellers will view with regret the pending departure of this popular family."

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Thursday 16 November 1950:
"Obituary - The Late Mr. M. Clune. It came as a great shock to the residents of the Carnamah district to learn on Thursday of last week that Mr. Michael Clune Snr, an old and respected past resident of the Carnamah district, had passed away at his daughter's residence at Bayswater the previous day. The late Mr. Clune was aged 81 years. Born in Victoria he migrated to W.A. as a young man and settled at Dardanup, just outside of Bunbury. Here he carried on a mixed farming property and at the same time operated a chaff-cutting plant. He was a hard working man and many old people from this particular locality still recall him in those days. From Dardanup he moved to Carnamah with his family and acquired a property about 2 miles west of the town on the Yarie Lake, which is known as "Lake View." Here he carried on farming pursuits and going into partnership with Mr. Saunders they opened up a butchery business in Carnamah. With the marriage of his elder son "Mick," Mr. Clune retired from the butchery business and concentrated almost entirely on his farm. He also owned a property at Bullsbrook at this time, and he divided his time between the two properties, although he spent most of his time at Carnamah. Some eight years or so ago he made his Carnamah property over to his son Mick and moved to Bullsbrook. However he later disposed of this property also and over the last few years had lived in retirement dividing his time between the members of his family. Always a lover of horses the late "Mick" Clune relied on horses both as means of transport and as a means of farming his property, right up until the time he retired. It was this love of horses which resulted in him taking an interest in racing over the latter years of his life. It was many many years ago that a horse owned by Mr. Roberts of Moora, was injured in a fall on the old Goomalling track and the late Mr. Clune tendered this animal until it recovered. In appreciation of this act, Mr. Roberts made a gift of a young filly to Mr. Clune which he called Brilliant Ayr. After winning track races with this mare Mr. Clune retired her to…….."

From The Area Herald newspaper, Tuesday 10 November 1942:
Died of Wounds - Corporal Joseph Colpitts
     Official advice was received on Friday night that Corpora Joseph Colpitts, of Griffith, had died of wounds. It is presumed that the wounds were received in the fighting in New Guinea as his last communications were from there. Altogether, he fought in nine different countries in this war. In the last war he was a member of the Grenadier Guards.
     The late Corporal Colpitts, who was aged 42 years, enlisted in the second A.I.F. from Griffith in the early part of 1940. He went to the Middle East and fought in the first Libyan campaign. Following that he went over to Greece and through the whole of the Grecian campaign. During that time he experienced hard fighting. He saw his comrades killed all round him in large numbers, but managed to survive. At one stage, when troops were on the retreat, his party was reduced to cooking grass in tin hats to eat. The Greek people were most kind to all the Allied soldiers and di everything possible to assist them.
     A Greek merchant paid the owner of a small boat £100 to take a party of soldiers, including the deceased over to Crete. In order to avoid attack from German aircraft, the party had to travel from island to island by night, hiding in an island by day.
At arrival on the island of Samos, quite close to the coast of Turkey they telephoned the British Counsel on the mainland. The Consul advised them that if they came ashore they would be interned. However, he sent them foodstuffs and tobacco.
The party then resumed its journey going southward. On reaching Crete the members went through the second campaign on that island. When the Germans had secured possession of the northern part of the island, this soldier from Griffith, along with other survivors, marched over the mountainous centre of the island to the south coast. That was, of course, very rough going. But they were able to get a boat in which to sail back to Egypt.
     Some time later, the deceased soldier volunteered to return with a party of men in Crete in order to rescue some of the soldiers who had been left behind on the island and were living in caves and, it is understood, in the woods awaiting a chance of being rescued. The rescue party was successful in bringing back several hundred men to Egypt. Afterwards the intrepid soldier saw service in Syria. He was also stationed for a considerable time in Palestine. From there he sent, together with photographs, some very interesting letters regarding the sacred placed, people and commerce.
     While in a cafe in the Middle East he accidentally met his brother, Bill. He had not previously known that his brother was in the army at that time. On the return journey to Australia the deceased was stationed in Ceylon for a while. That was about the time when the Japanese were threatening to attack India. Whilst in Perth he had the opportunity of seeing his father, Mr. W. R. Colpitts.
On returing to Griffith he had a fortnight's leave during which he was visited by many old friends. He was one of 22 returned A.I.F. and R.A.A.F. men tendered a welcome home in the Memorial Hall on August 18. Subsequently he was sent north and was soon in the fighting in New Guinea He was in constant communication with his wife, giving general reports as to his welfare, and making plans for the future - plans which, alas, will never materialise. A communication from the minister for the Army advised that the soldier died of wounds on November 3. In a recent letter deceased stated that he had served in nine different countries in this war.
     The deceased soldier first came to the [Griffith] Area with his parents from England in 1927, his father being a retired Sergeant of police in Manchester. Here deceased married Miss Elizabeth Snaith. After about a year here, the Colpitts went to Western Australia where deceased took up land. For five years he was engaged in wheat growing in that State. He and his wife also conducted the Griffith baths and tuck shop for a couple of years. He was also manager of the Yends branch of the Murrumbidgee Packing House. Much sympathy will be felt for the widow in the loss of her brave husband. Deceased's mother died whilst he was on active service in the Middle East, about six months ago. His only two brothers are in the A.I.F. His brother William also went through the Libyan campaign."
Note: on arrival in Western Australia he initially worked as a farmhand in Winchester
