HALLAM, HARRY

Son of John Hallam and Eliza Mahala Wellard

Harry Hallam was born 9^th January, 1877 in Glenorchy Tasmania .

He enlisted to fight in the Boer War and left Tasmania on the 27^th March 1901 and reached the rank of Sergeant in the Fourth (Second Tasmanian Imperial Bushmen Contingent).

He was promoted to Lieutenant No. 2 Company

During his war years he was overwhelmed by the oppression he had seen and returned to the Sudan as a missionary. He worked for the Slavery Repression Department and was killed by those he had gone to help.

He died in his 31^st year and his body was never recovered.

One of the stained glass windows in the Methodist Church at Glenorchy is dedicated to his memory.
