Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Son of William Dennis HURLEY and Frances Christina HURLEY nee CONNORS, Cooyar, Queensland.

HURLEY.—In sad and loving memory of our dear Brother, Private William Angus Hurley, who was killed in action in France, October 4, 1917.
A hero he fought, a hero he fell ;
Though only a private, he did his part well.
He gave his life, a life brave and true.
He fell with his colors, purple and blue.
Inserted by his loving Sisters and Brothers.
