« on: Tuesday 07 July 09 09:52 BST (UK) »
I am trying to findout about a Gilbert Harry, who served with the Australian Army in the First World War. He was awarded a medal as an enlisted man, and then, after he received a battlefield commission he won two further medals. He is buried in the Gympie Cemetary in Queensland, Australia.
Anyone with information about this person please advise. Thank you.

His WW1 digitised service record has a lot of information.  Perhaps you have it.
