War Service
Enlisted at the Western Command details Camp at Claremont and was designated a General reinforcement.
From the history of the unit, it appears that Stanley was killed when on 2 Feb 1942 he schooner that they were attempting to escape from larger Japanese forces was sighted by a Japanese plane which subsequently attacked, causing considerable damage to the vessel as well as destroying one of its lifeboats and causing a number of casualties. (Stanley was to die from wounds received). For those that survived the strafing, The Induna Star had begun taking on water and as a result the men were forced to surrender. Under escort by a Japanese aircraft and then later a destroyer, they were instructed to sail to Rabaul where they became prisoners of war.
