War Service
Enlisted at a time when the 12th Battalion (joint SA and WA) was being raised, he trained with them, and travelled to Egypt. It appears that he was not with them when they travelled aboard HMT Cawdor Castle to Gallipoli, as he rejoined the battalion on Gallipoli on 15 Aug 1915.
On 4 Sep 1915 Henry was ill with diarrhoea, and after being seen by the 1st Australian Field Ambulance, he was evacuated from Gallipoli to the 1st Australian Casualty Clearing Station at Mudros on 7 Sep 1915. Diagnosed with measles he was transferred on 17 Sep 1915 to the 24th Convalescent Depot
Discharged by the 5th Military District on 14 Dec 1917.
