Biography

Stanley Robert Halliday (SN 3775) was educated at the Humffray Street State School and was a 19 year old grocer when he enlisted in July 1915, listing his mother Mrs Sarah Halliday, living at the corner of Grant and Barkly Streets in Ballarat, as his next of kin. He was posted to the 46th Infantry Battalion and embarked from Melbourne in late November 1915 on the Ceramic.

While in Egypt he was transferred to 46th Infantry Battalion with whom he moved to France.
