Pre War

War Service

Within a month of entering camp, Frazer was reallocated from infantry reinforcements to Engineering reinforcements. Promoted Acting Corporal for the voyage to Alexandria.

In Egypt he was taken on strength of the 15th Field Company Engineers at Tel-el-Kebiron 18 Mar 1916, before spending a few days in hospital. Left Alexandria 18 Jun 1916 and entered France via Marseilles on 29 Jun 1916 aboard the HMT Kinsfauns Castle.

Wounded in Action on 20 Jul 1916 at Fromelles with wounds to his left leg. His Field Company were busy repairing communication trenches near the Sugarloaf Salient. Treated by 2nd Australian Casualty Clearing Station on the same day he was admitted to 8th Stationary Hospital in Wimereux, returning to an active unit on 15 Aug 1916 after a period in convalescent areas.

On returning to active duty he was transferred to 1st Field Company, joining them at Albert as they were moving to the front lines at La Boiselle between Albert and Pozieres. Wounded a second time almost immediately (18 Aug 1916) with gunshot wounds to his arm, leg and back as his company fought to keep communication and front line trenches fit for use. Treated by the 12th South Midland Field Ambulance, he passed through a Casualty Clearing Station and was admitted to hospital in France.

Recovered, he was sent back to the 15th Field Company, where on 1 Nov 1916 he was mustered as a Driver. On Christmas Day 1916 he reported to hospital sick with a septic foot. Discharged from hospital on 5 Jan 1917 he returned to his unit. On 25 Jun 1917 he was charged with failing to carry out the duties allocated to him at a grooming (horse) parade, for which he was awarded 7 days field punishment. In Sep 1917 he enjoyed a period of furlough in England, and again in Aug 1918.

As a result of his second leave he was required to enter the 1st Australian Dermatological Hospital on 6 Sep 1918 with VD before being released 84 days later on 28 Nov 1918.

Discharged 5th Military District 14 Apr 1919 with debility.

"...went in January, 1916 with the 15th Division of Engineers to Egypt, thence to France where he was twice wounded - last time near Armentiès. Back in firing line."[1]

The newspapers of the day report Frazer is listed in the 194th Casualty List as wounded.[2]
