Description
Studio portrait of 3090 Private (Pte) Stanley Harold Harris, 18th Battalion, of Copeland, NSW. A shop assistant before enlisting in August 1915, Pte Harris left Australia for Egypt with the 7th Reinforcements in December 1915, and after transferring to the 3rd Battalion as part of the 'doubling up' of the AIF in February 1916, arrived in France for service on the Western Front the following month. After a promotion to Lance Corporal (LCpl) in February 1917, he was killed in action during the Second Battle of Bullecourt on 5 May 1917, aged 22, and has no known grave. LCpl Harris is the older brother of 736 Corporal Herbert Thomas Harris, 3rd Battalion, who was killed in action at Pozieres on 20 July 1916 (See P07760.002).
