"Mr. Sydney Alexander Newsham, now employed in the Bank of New Zealand (Sydney branch), was born at Shoalhaven, Illawarra district, November 16, 1856. Mr. Newsham was principally educated at the Sydney Grammar School. After finishing his education he entered William Laidley and Co.'s shipping office, and two years later he turned his attention to the banking business. Mr Newsham joined the New South Wales Naval Artillery Volunteers as a blue jacket on 11th December, 1882, shortly after the formation of the corps. On the 27th March, 1884, he received his commission as sub-lieutenant, after being elected to the position and passing the usual competitive examination, in which he came out third on the list. As sub -lieutenant he had command of B Company port watch during the first six months of 1886. On the 1st July of that year he received his commission as lieutenant, after passing the qualifying examination. The subject of our sketch is a great favourite with the members of the corps, and his watch would go anywhere with him. Mr. Newsham is a very creditable specimen of a native-born Australian, and he is to be congratulated upon the attainment of the position it was his fervent ambition to reach. As an officer he is as intelligent as he is fearless, and should occasion ever arise he may be trusted to do his duty for New South Wales."
