Also known as Dooley, Harry’s name has been inscribed on the Lambton Post Office Roll of Honor, Lambton Citizens' Memorial Gates and the Lambton / New Lambton Municipal District Roll of Honor.
Harry has been memorialised at his parent’s gravesite at Sandgate Cemetery, but the memorial inscription is almost unreadable, so February 2018 I placed a memorial cross adorned with poppies on the gravesite, taken a photo of the memorialised grave and uploaded the photo onto the Northern Cemetery website as a permanent record of his service. ANGLICAN 1-72. 26.
