Originally enlisted under the name of Henry Phillip Rosewarne (13th ALH Regiment) as he was underage (although stating his age as 21). "Henry" Rosewarne was returned to Australia 2 September 1915 (suffering from VD) and he was hospitalised for several months after his return.

After gaining full fitness, he was allocated new SN 4040 and re-allocated to 14th reinforcements for the 24th Btn.
