His brother, 3096 Pte. Robert, (known as Roy) Glazebrook 56th Battalion AIF was killed in action near Bullecourt 2 April 1917, aged 28.
In his service file, Henry and his brother Robert’s medals and plaques were returned to the Base Records Office in Canberra during 1940, by the NSW RSL. The items were left at their office by an unknown person who intimated that their mother had just passed away.
