William Reddie Amor (SN 2784) was a 22 year old plasterer from Clayton Street Ballarat when he enlisted in June 1915. He embarked from Australia on the Hororata on September 27th 1915, sailing to Egypt and eventually to France. He served with distinction with the 14th Battalion on the Western Front and was awarded the Military Medal for his gallantry. His commendation read: ‘On the morning of the 11th April, 1917 in the attack on the Hindenburg Line in the vicinity of Reincourt, Private Amor displayed the utmost gallantry and devotion to duty with one other surviving member of L.M.G. (Lewis Machine Gun) crew he kept up a deadly fire at the enemy at every opportunity. To obtain a more commanding position at great risk to himself he took his gun out in front of the line of trenches. In the retirement when practically all organisation and order had been lost and every man had to make his own way home in spite of enfilading machine gun fire and an artillery barrage, he carried his gun till when approaching our line a piece of shell smashed the barrel. Throughout he displayed great judgment and initiative and the British tenacity of purpose.' His gallantry and judgement earned for him his promotion to Sergeant. He returned to Australia in April 1919 and lived for another fifty years until his death in 1971 at the age of 77.

Lewis, his younger brother, also served in the AIF, enlisting a year after William.
