Private Rouse was the seventh son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Rouse, of lnvermay and was the fourth member of this family to serve his country, three other brothers still being on active service. Private Rouse will be well remembered as a swimmer in the northern part of the island having won the "Courier" trophy for a year, and being the holder of the Trinity Club cup for 12 months. In 1914 he became the possessor of a marksman certificate. The late Private Rouse was also well known in Hobart where he resided at the time of enlistment.
