William Richard Daly (SN 114) was born in Melbourne but was a 23 year old labourer from Humffray Street in Ballarat East when he was amongst the first to enlist in August 1914. He sailed with the first Anzac fleet in October, first to Egypt, and then on to Gallipoli with the 8th Battalion. His time on Gallipoli was cut short by dental and medical problems. In May 1915 he was returned to Australia on escort duty aboard the Ceramic. By March 1916 he had been assigned a new service number 4380 and returned to the battlefields as a reinforcement for the 23rd Battalion. He served for a short time in France before being evacuated to hospital in England. While in England he spent time at the School of Musketry, but also found himself in trouble for "trafficking Government clothing". He was eventually assessed as "permanently unfit" and left England in April 1918 to return to Australia for discharge. He died in September 1962.
