Add my storyBiography contributed by Faithe Jones
Son of Henry Sayers Crocker and Margaret Eleanor Crocker, of "Winfield," 31, Riversdale Rd., Hawthorn, Victoria
Much sympathy will be felt for Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Crocker, of Riversdale road, Hawthorn, in the death of their son, Captain R. C. Crocker, who was killed in action in Gallipoli. Captain Crocker, who was 27 years of age, and a solicitor, was engaged up to the time that he enlisted with the Australian Expeditionary Force in his father's office. He was an enthusiast in the military profession. Among his schoolmates of the Scotch College he was held in the highest esteem.
