6256 Private William Daly of the 4th Infantry Battalion was born on 3 March 1899 in Germanton (now known as Holbrook), New South Wales. He was working on a farm at Mullengandra but travelled to Cootamundra to enlist in April 1916, claiming to be a railway employee from Junee. On 28 February 1917, both of Daly's legs were blown off by an exploding shell in the trenches at Le Barque in France. He died at a first aid post several hours later, just a few days before his 18th birthday. William Daly is buried in the Bazentin-le-Petit Military Cemetery, Bazentin, France.
