Biography
"THE LATE LANCE-CORPORAL J. C. HANNAFORD.
The news of the death of Lance-Corporal J. C. Hannaford, who died of wounds received in action has been received by his brother, Mr. T. Hannaford, of Flora-street, St. Peters. Lance-Corporal Hannaford, who enlisted early in 1915, left this State at the end of June last year. On arrival in Egypt he was sent on to Gallipoli, and took part in the fighting there until the evacuation of the Peninsula. After a brief spell he went to France, and was in the firing line until he was severely wounded in the spine on August 20. He was removed to the Sheffield Royal Infirmary on August 28, but no hope was held out of his recovery. As a result of the wounds he became paralysed in the lower part of his body, and died on October 27. Lance-Corporal Hannaford, who was 22 years of age on April 13, had been a member of the Norwood Church of Christ Bible School since his boyhood. He was also prominently connected with the athletic section of church activity, being a member of the football and basket ball teams. He was the third member of the church to lose his life." - from the Adelaide Chronicle 11 Nov 1916 (nla.gov.au)
