With the students at Emmaus College, Rockhampton QLD.

Remembering Sergeant Henry James Allard of Rockhampton, Service Number 255, 42nd Battalion AIF.

Henry died in 1920 of Trench nephritis (or war nephritis) which was a severe, widespread kidney disease that struck soldiers during WW1, particularly in the damp, cold environment of the Western Front. The exact cause was never definitively established, though medical historians suspect an infectious or post-viral etiology.

The ANZACs were a mixed lot.

Something to think about….

Men of Anglo-Celtic descent seem to dominate the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) during the war. Close examination of war service records and other sources reveals some diversity. Men from nearly every continent and creed served in the AIF. These volunteers often had to overcome Australia's racist White Australia policy before they could be accepted. Soldiers in the AIF came from countries around the world, including Belgium, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, India, Italy, Japan, current-day Lebanon, Norway and the Russian Empire.
