Symes R.S. would appear to be SERN 20147 Reginald Samuel SYMES, of Prahran, Vic. 8^th FAB

Lucas A.G. would appear to be SERN 19106 Arnold Goodwin LUCAS, of Stanmore, Sydney.

Hopkins R.G. - not clear from AWM records who this might be.

Penrose we have several choices, assuming that this was a school for artillery signallers.
Arthur PENROSE, 4^th FAB
Albert Elliott PENROSE, 1^st FAB
Reginald Doig(?) PENROSE, 7^th FAB

Collingwood we also have some choices from among the artillery men
Edward Francis COLLINGWOOD, 8^th FAB
George Herbert COLLINGWOOD, 11^th FAB

Crabtree we have some artillery choices
Abraham Booth CRABTREE, 8^th FAB
James CRABTREE, 8^th FAB

Research into the others, with more common names, is continuing.

Note, 31 March 2010: I wonder if O'Neil is the O'Neil whose diaries make up a goodly part of "Death Sat on a Pale Horse"? A quick check shows that it wasn't.
