To the Editor of the Argus (16/08/1880)

The Battle of Glenrowan and Storming of Kelly Castle (03/07/1880)

“Sir, — The next time the police forces of Victoria attempt the taking of such a strong hotel as Jones’s wooden building, alias Kelly Castle, I would suggest that they should lay proper siege to the place, and not rashly expose themselves, sheltered only by trees and logs, to the fire of the besieged; but dig trenches and rifle-pits, and throw up proper earthworks.”
