Born 18^th September 1894 New Norfolk Tasmania to Samuel George and Margaret Frances Martin (nee Gaul) a labourer who departed Hobart 8^th August 1916 on board “HMAT Ballarat” with the 12^th Infantry Battalion

He was wounded in the knee by machine gun fire at Bourcies 6^th April 1917 and was trying to get back to his own lines when he was fatally hit in the head by a sniper. Like other soldiers with no known grave he is commemorated on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial, France.
