Buried: 27 August 1924
When the Great War started in 1914, Bert was working as a bottler in Maryborough and immediately decided to join the army. His brother Frederick Ernest, a 24-year-old boilermaker working at Walker's Ltd Maryborough, had already enlisted on 19 August - and now it was Bert's turn to go.
Frederick had already left for overseas on HMAT Omrah.
Frederick returned to Australia on 15 November that year with "synovitis" to both knees and discharged on 15 March 1916 with a pension of £3 per fortnight. Fred married in 1920 and died unexpectedly on 27 August 1924. It has long been claimed that Fred died as a result of war wounds.
