Add my storyBiography contributed by Stephen Brooks
Harold was one of five Crawford brothers from Burnie, Tasmania, all of whom served in the Australian Field Artillery. Three of the brothers died during the Great War. They were all aged between 18 and 24 years old.
Harold served at the Anzac landing in the same unit as two of his brothers, Norman and Edward, all of them fighting right through the Gallipoli campaign.
Harold was one of only two survivors of his brothers, returning home sick to Australia during March 1918, only a few weeks after having married an English girl who returned with him to Australia.
