Captain Edward Hounsfield Barber , of the Oamaru Rifles, commenced his volunteer experience in 1890, when he joined the St. John's College, Cadets, in Auckland. During his subsequent visit to London he had some experience at Aldershot. Then, after returning to the colony, and during his residence at Tomoana, he became lieutenant in the Hawke's Bay Mounted Rifles, and while at the Bluff he became captain of the Bluff Guards. Since settling at Oamaru he has been elected to the captaincy of the Oamaru Rifles. Captain Barber is referred to in another article as manager at Oamaru for J. Mill and Co.
