Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Son of William and Jane HUBBARD, Noumea, New Caledonia

Commemorated on St James' Roll of Honour, Sydney, New South Wales: '"He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it." Matthew 10:39. In memory of those associated with St James' Church who gave their lives in the Great War.'

"The charge of the 18th Battalion at Hill 60 was a gallant one and very few men escaped the murderous machine gun fighting and snippers . A mate reported that Private C. Hubbard was one of the first to gain the paropet as soon as the order was given to charge." Details from Sister.
