Stanley Richard Carpentar (SN 503) was born at Windermere and attended the local state school. He was a 21 year old labourer when he enlisted on December 11th 1916. On February 19th 1917 he embarked from Melbourne aboard the Ballarat reaching England on April 25th. In June he crossed over to France to serve with the 10th Machine Gun Company. In November he was wounded in action, gassed, and evacuated to hospital at Wimereux, France, before being transferred to England. Once recovered he undertook further training in England before returning to France in October 1918. His major incident in the final months of the war was facing Court Martial for "using insubordinate language" for which he was heavily disciplined. After the war he returned to Australia aboard the Takada, disembarked at Melbourne on September 7th 1919 and was discharged in October. His service is remembered on the Windermere & Cardigan Roll of Honour.

Lucas’s Staffs Appreciation of Brave Men, the original Avenue register, records his name as Stanley Carpenter.
