Henry Edward JUDD (Service Number 3850A) was born at Girilambone on 18th July 1883. He was the eldest son of Henry Braidwood Judd of ‘Yarrangong’, Forbes, For some years he followed farming pursuits in the Forbes district, but in 1913 joined the NSW Government Railways as a porter at Darling Harbour. Early in 1916 he disposed of his property, and in December 1916 enlisted in the AIF in Sydney.
He embarked from Sydney aboard HMAT ‘Anchises’ in January 1917. He landed in England in March and initially trained with the Pioneer Battalion. He transferred in July to the 13th Battalion of Infantry, with reinforcements. He was sent to France in August. He was ‘Taken on strength’ by the 13th Battalion on 1st September. He was sent to hospital two weeks later with synovitis of the right knee – he had wrenched the knee playing football – and returned to England. In November he was discharged from hospital there and given a fortnight’s leave, after which he was given duties in England. In March 1918 he was punished for a day’s Absence Without Leave. Two weeks later he returned to France, re-joining his unit in April.
On 8 August 1918 he was wounded in action near Morlancourt during the Battle of Amiens and died the same day of his wounds. He was buried in Daours Communal Cemetery Extension, 2¾ miles W of Corbie.
