A returning wounded soldier who nobly sacrificed his life in an attempt to save from drowning, a child who fell overboard the SS Ruahine on the 25th November 1916.
The deed was characteristic of the lad. He died as he lived - a stranger to selfishness.
It was dusk. The child, aged about 2 years, had crawled through a port-hole and fallen into the sea. Without the slightest hesitation, Bayne, although one arm was disabled, and regardless of the sharks, plunged overboard after he infant.
Neither Bayne, nor the child were ever seen again.
