Bailey, Guy Brooke

Born 1888 Albany Western Australia but married and living in Tasmania when he enlisted. He departed Brisbane 25^th May 1915 on board “HMAT Ascanius” with the 7^th Field Ambulance.

Captain Dr Bailey was killed in action 28^th March 1917 near Lagnicourt and buried in the Vaulx Hill Cemetery, France.

The sad report has been received that Dr. Guy Brooke Bailey, of Hobart, son of Mr G H. Bailey, the Diocesan Registrar, has been killed whilst serving with the Tasmanian forces in France.

Dr. Bailey was, for a time, assistant house-surgeon at the Hobart General Hospital. He also took charge of Dr. Gilbert Butler’s practice at Zeehan whilst the latter was absent in England. Subsequently he was an assistant to Dr. Sprott. and was accounted a skilful doctor, and a very considerate and affable gentleman. He has been serving with the Tasmanian forces since early in the war, and was in the Gallipoli campaign. He returned to Hobart suffering from the effects of enteric fever, and after recuperating, left for the front again, and at the time of his death was serving with our forces at the front in France. He married a daughter of the late Sir Adye Douglas, and leaves a widow and one child. His death is deeply regretted by the members of the medical profession in Hobart, as well as by a large circle of friends. For his splendid services at the front Dr. Bailey was some time ago mentioned in despatches.
