Stanley Bergan McGregor MM (SN 155) born in Ballarat, was a 19 year old fitter and turner when he enlisted in Ballarat on August 17th 1914. He trained with the Medical Corps and was posted to the 2nd Field Ambulance before embarking aboard the Wiltshire on October 19th. He served at Gallipoli before being moved to France in March 1916. His service was marked by several discipline breaches including swimming without permission and being drunk while in charge of horses. He avoided battle wounds but was hospitalised on separate occasions suffering from pleurisy and scabies. The highpoint of his service came in 1918 when he was awarded a Military Medal ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty on right of PROYART on 22nd August, 1918. This N.C.O. was in charge of a stretcher bearer Squad attached to a Battalion R.M.O., and during the advance made by the Division he advanced under a heavy Machine Gun fire over open country and established an aid post ahead of the Infantry as soon as the barrage lifted, thus making preparation for the evacuation of the wounded. From there he directed the evacuation throughout the whole day. His supreme courage and cheerful bearing under heavy shell fire during the rest of the day acted as an incentive to the squad under his charge, and materially assisted the R.M.O. in the clearance of his R.A.P. In the line at all times he inspires the greatest confidence in his squad of bearers by his personal bravery and cheerful energy.' Soon after this he was granted ‘special 1914 leave’ and returned to Australia aboard the Durham, disembarked at Melbourne on December 23rd 1918 and was discharged on February 21st 1919.

His brothers James, William and Rob Roy also served in the AIF and are honoured with a tree in the Avenue.
