Roland George David Hill (SN 433) was born at Kaniva but grew up at Warrenheip where he attended the local state school. He was a 19 year old farm labourer when he enlisted on August 25th 1914. Assigned to the 8th Infantry Battalion, he embarked aboard the Benalla in October and took part in the landing at Gallipoli on April 25th 1915. Three weeks later, on May 14th, he suffered a serious gunshot wound to the chest. He was evacuated to Malta where he was assessed as unfit for further active service. He returned to Australia aboard the Karoola and was discharged on May 26th 1916. In July 1917 it appears that he re-enlisted for a few weeks while he had some further treatment but he was still deemed to be unfit for active service.
