Biography contributed by Ant McLean

At the front Hampshire was seriously wounded by shrapnel around Quinn's Post, at Gallipoli, on 19 May 1915, which fractured his right knee and resulted in a silver plated being affixed to his leg. The wound made him unfit for further duty and he returned to Australia in March 1916.
