    Biography contributed by Stephen Brooks

    William Henry Fletcher returned to Australia 31 October 1917 and was discharged as medically unfit with severe TB on 27 June 1918. He died at Keswick five weeks after discharge and does not appear to be any Roll of Honour. He left a wife and 10 year old son.

    His brother, George Bailey Fletcher served in the Boer War and in WW1 with the 9th Light Horse Regiment.
