FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

Alfred Shout (1882–1915) was a New Zealand–born soldier and posthumous
Australian recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest decoration for combat
gallantry awarded to members of the British and Commonwealth armed forces. It
was bestowed for his actions at Lone Pine in August 1915, during the Gallipoli
Campaign of the First World War. Born in Wellington, Shout had served in the
Second Boer War, where he was mentioned in despatches. He immigrated to Sydney
in 1907 and was active in the part-time Citizens Forces. In August 1914, he
joined the Australian Imperial Force and was appointed a lieutenant in the 1st
Battalion. He took part in the Anzac landings at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. For
his leadership during the invasion, Shout was awarded the Military Cross and
later mentioned in despatches. Shout's three gallantry awards at Gallipoli made
him the most highly decorated member of the Australian force in the campaign.

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

Chandra Shumsher Jung Bahadur Rana (1863–1929) was a member of the Rana dynasty
who served as Prime Minister of Nepal from 1901 until his death. He came to
power after successfully deposing his liberal and reformist brother Dev
Shumsher. Although generally perceived as despotic and conservative, he is
credited with reforms including the abolition of slavery and the Nepal–Britain
Treaty of 1923, which recognized Nepal as an independent nation and an ally of
Britain. This photograph of Chandra Shumsher, wearing the robes of the Order of
the Star of India, was taken in 1908 during a visit to Europe.
