Add my storyBiography contributed by Michael Silver
Leslie Stuart McDonagh was a tailor who wasted no time signing up as a 23 year old in September 1914. A member of the McDonagh family of Gunnedah, the owners of one of the largest and best known department stores in north west New South Wales, he was posted to the 2nd Light Horse Regiment and left Australia in December 1914.
He served in Eygypt and Palestine until late in the war when he was given a medical discharge for flat feet, returning to Australia in January 1919.
Leslie McDonagh died in Gunnedah in 1967, aged 76.
