Sergeant Leo James Harty of Normanby Street, Moonee Ponds, survived the landing at Gallipoli and the battle of Lone Pine, but was probably killed in the bombardment at Messines in 1916. Rod Martin tells his story here. The photograph, by John Philpott, shows the Berks Cemetery Extension where Leo was buried.
Thank you to the wonderful people at this blog: how good it is to check out your info. I have nothing further to add, but your work on Sgt Leo Harty MM was helpful
