His death removes from our midst one of the foremost 
engineers of Australia, but our colleague’s name is immor- 
talised in the names of Walsh Island at Newcastle, and 
Walsh’s Bay at Sydney. These names were given in 
recognition of his signal services to the State and in the 
’ cause of engineering. ‘The only son of Mr. Walsh was 
killed at the Great War.
