For twelve years he was employed on the staff of tho "Bell" newspaper in that district, and afterwards joined" tho "New Zealand Herald" at Auckland. After gaining some further experience bo bought tho "North Auckland Times." He sold out as soon as possible upon the outbreak of war, and reached Egypt in time to leave with the Main Body for Gallipoli. He was present at the landing on April 25, and through tho severe engagements in tho earlier part of the campaign there. After three months on the Peninsula only 1G out of the 227 riien of his company were left. Sergeant Hillary was then injured by a bomb, and was sent to Malta, where it was found that injuries to liis ears and eyes were so serious as to necessitate his removal to Fmgland. "While in England he qualified for a commission, but the medical authorities would not allow him to return to the front, and ordered him to New Zealand.
