George Martin Millar (SN 223) was born at Geelong where he enlisted as a 20 year old draper on August 18th 1914. He embarked aboard the Benalla in October with the first ANZAC fleet. He was hospitalised for 17 days in Egypt but then joined the 8th Battalion at Gallipoli in May 1915. Illness forced him to hospital on Lemnos in September. He was deployed to France in May 1916. In June 1917 he was assigned duty as a driver. The highlight of his remaining service occurred on June 13th 1918 when, while on leave, he married Mabel Millar at her father’s home in England. He was then granted '1914 leave’ in October and returned to Australia aboard the HT Durham and was discharged February 12th 1919.
