War Service

Less than a month after entering Blackboy Hill camp, Fred was allocated to the 13th reinforcement draft for the 28th Battalion and departed on 18 Jul 1916 for England aboard HMAT A48 Seang Bee


On arrival in England on 9 Sep 1916, Fred was sent to the 7th Training Battalion to undertake war readiness training. On 10 Oct 1916 he was hospitalised with a cold, and during this period he was debited 5½d (4 cents) for lost kit. This may have been associated with a short period of AWOL from 3:30pm 22 Feb 1917 until 5:00pm the same day which cost him 9 day's pay as he was held in custody for 8 days awaiting a hearing of his charge.


On 23 Mar 1917 he was taken on strength by the 70th Battalion and remained with them until the unit was disbanded before briefly transferring to the 69th Battalion on 16 Sep 1917 until 14 Oct 1917 when he proceeded overseas to France from Southampton. Six days later (20 Oct 1917) he was taken on strength by the 28th Battalion in the field. Fred was ill from 9 Jan 1918 till 10 Feb 1918 in France, and again on 21 Mar 1918 when he was embarked on HMHS Newhaven for transfer to the Southwark Military Hospital in East Dulwich Cove SE22 with bronchitis. His health problems persisted, and he was sent back to Australia early, (Hysteria or Neurasthenia). Discharged by the 5th Military District on 1 Oct 1918.

Post War

In 1929 Fred married Eileen Mary Walsh. Daughter Rosemary L was born in 1930. Electoral Roll entries - 1922 Laverton, Police Constable; 1925 Merredin Police Constable; 1931 - 1937 with Eileen Mary at 38 Fremantle road, Victoria Park
