"Once a successful soldier, and now a successful farmer, Mr G. D. Ferrier, J.P.,
is now in his second year of office as chairman of the Mingenew Road Board, of
which he became a member four years ago. Although his farm leaves him little
spare time, he is prominent in public affairs, and is chairman of the Polo Club
and the recreation committee, and president of the Mingenew branch of the
Primary Producers' Association. Mr Ferrier came to the district seven years ago.
He is the possessor of a military record of merit. In 1910, in Perth, as a
volunteer, he joined the artillery under Brigadier-General Bessel Browne, then a
captain. Graduating from the ranks, he obtained his commission soon after the
war commenced, and left for France with the 8th Artillery Brigade. Rising to a
captaincy he commanded the 31st Battery for 14 months, and won the Military
Cross at Menin Road. Mr Ferrier's property covers 3,000 acres of good country,
of which 1,300 acres are cleared and 600 acres partially cleared. It is
undulating and contains river flats."

here later and in 1910 joined the voluntary artillery under Major Hobbs. During
the war he enlisted with the 3rd Divisional Artillery, and was layer placed in

every faith in the future of his district."
