Henry “Harry’ Patrick Clee (SN 71) born at Coleraine, was a married blacksmith, declaring himself to be 43 years of age when he enlisted in Ballarat on March 29th 1916. Assigned to the 39th Infantry Battalion he embarked from Melbourne aboard the Ascanius on May 27th and sailed to England. In November he crossed to the battlefields of France. His declining capacity led to his evacuation to England in August 1917 where it was decided he should be returned to Australia. He returned aboard the Port Lyttleton and was discharged on January 21st 1918 ‘medically unfit, debility, rheumatism, overage’. He died in 1928, with cemetery records showing his age as 76, which if correct, means he was over 60 when he enlisted.

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