Harry Antram was born in Port Pirie, South Australia on the 4th of February 1895. Harry had no known schooling and it is yet to be discovered what he did in his childhood. Harry lived in a few places around Australia before he moved to New South Wales where he lived in his hometown of Broken Hill. Harry's parents Harry and Susannah Antram had no other children. Harry was named after his father who was said to be deceased before Harry chose to go to the war. Harry’s religious background was Presbyterian. We also know that Harry was single before attending the war. Harry’s occupation before the war was a horse driver.
Harry enlisted for the First World War (1914-1918) on the 19th of August 1914. There is no known information on why Harry had joined the army. His service number was 810 and his role throughout the war was in the 10th Infantry Battalion for the Australian Imperial Force. Harry trained in Egypt and fought in Gallipoli and received the 1914/15 Star, the British War Medal and a Victory medal.
Harry was later reported to be killed in action at Gallipoli on April the 25th at the age of 24. Harry's body still lays at Gallipoli but there are multiple memorials to commemorate him. One stands over the centre of the Turkish trenches and tunnels. Most memorials in Gallipoli contain relatively few marked graves. Harry is also commemorated on Australian War Memorial roll of honour, the Lone Pine Memorial to the missing and the Rose Park Memorial trees.
