From How We Served
3355 Gunner Stanley Edward Hore was a resident of Burwood, Victoria, and had been employed as a fitter and turner at the time of his enlistment for War Service on the 6th of July 1915.
Originally allocated to reinforcements for the 14th Battalion, 1st AIF, Stanley was transferred over to the artillery following his arrival in Egypt on the 1st of March 1916.
Stanley sailed for France with his new Unit, the 47th Battery of the 12th Field Artillery Brigade who were soon engaged in actions from May onwards along the Somme throughout 1916, and then into Belgium in 1917, where his Brigade was committed to the 'Third Battle of Ypres'.
Gunner Hore was availed 'Leave' to spend time in England from the 21st of November, until returning to the 47th Battery who by now were again back in France on the 7th of December 1917.
On the 27th of December 1917, & within two weeks after having returned to his Unit from England, Stanley was seriously wounded by shellfire, sustaining injuries to his face, head, arm and leg.
Stanley was evacuated back to the 53rd Casualty Clearing Station, where he died of wounds on the 5th of January 1918. He had been aged 27.
Following his death, Gunner Stanley Hore was officially interred within the Bailleul Communal Cemetery Extension (Nord), Lille, Nord Pas de Calais, France.
Back home in Australia Stanley's parents had their son's loss during the 'Great War' privately memorialised at the Hore family's collective gravesite within Burwood Pioneers Cemetery, Victoria.
