Private Isaac Leonard Power (Service No:4215) enlisted in October 1917 and served in Egypt/Palestine with 14th Light Horse Cavalry Regiment and 12 Light Horse Regiment. He was WiA in May 1918 - GSW to his shin - and was hospitalised with Malaria on board the HT Morvada during his return to Australia in June 1919.
Born in Eulo via Thargomindah QLD in 1891, Isaac (aka on occasion as Leonard) was the eldest of five children (and only son) of William Henry Power and Elizabeth Helena Moore. William - who worked as a Labourer and Carpenter - and Elizabeth married in 1891 and by 1906 had moved their family to Temora in NSW.
Isaac worked as a Labourer in Tottenham via Parkes, NSW where in 1912 he married Florence Evelyn Rose Coffee (b1895 in Moama, NSW). Isaac worked as a Labourer and Farmer in Parkes NSW, and he and Florence divorced. In January 1941 when Isaac enlisted in the ACMF (Sapper; Service No:N108009) he gave a false birthdate to present himself as seven years younger, gave his status as single and initially listed his mother as his NoK. Following his Discharge in 1947, Isaac settled in Sydney NSW where he worked as a Labourer, Isaac died in 1960.
