Kellyville Digger's family relieved he has been found after 95 years

THE great niece of missing Kellyville soldier Private Arthur Russell wept tears of relief at the recent discovery of his final resting place 95 years after his death.

Jan Bell, of Mt Pleasant in Wollongong, said the discovery of her great uncle’s remains at Fromelles in France had solved a family mystery spanning three generations.

Overwhelmed with the interest and compassion of onlookers, she is delighted Castle Hill RSL Sub-branch has begun the process to rename Rouse Hill’s Second Ponds Reserve in honor of Mr Russell and his brother William, who also died in World War I in Belgium.

Mr Russell’s family were never able to bury their son, the location of his remains unknown until April when they were discovered using DNA technology.

“Arthur was my mother’s uncle, and I don’t think she ever stopped wondering about him.

Our word “color” comes originally from the Old Latin noun ‘colos’, meaning a covering, related to the verb ‘celare’ - to conceal or to hide. It seems an ironic word meaning, really, when we consider how much power we assign to color in revealing what we think of as particular qualities of the visual world. Certain colors connote warmth, joyous optimism, or fiery passion, while others conjure cold, distant things, loneliness, or isolation. We’ve become accustomed to how the visible spectrum of light resonates with us emotionally. In art, we praise an artist’s mastery of color’s luminosity and intensity, and its capacity to manipulate our perception. In this polychromatic world that can be...
