He served in the military as a Lance Corporal, number 5474, 53rd Battalion, 1st AIF from November 7, 1915 to January 15, 1919 in WW1. Unit embarked from Sydney, NSW, on board HMAT A49 Ceramic on 14 April 1916
Wounded in action He was awarded the Military Medal. 'In the recent attack on PERONNE on the 1st September 1918, this N.C.O. showed great coolness and daring in working his Lewis Gun. Throughout the action he kept up a constant fire although he himself was subjected to heavy machine gun and artillery fire, and inflicted a large number of casualties on the enemy. In the latter part of the advance he was severely wounded in the shoulder and also had the Butt blown off his gun. However, he still continued in action until loss of blood and weakness forced him leave the line for medical attention.' Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 115 Date: 10 October 1919 |
