Add my storyBiography contributed by Andreena Hockley
"The numerous friends of our local stationmaster and his wife, Mr and Mrs Hogan, will regret to learn that their son, Gunner P. J. Hogan is at present an inmate of the Heliopolis Hospital, suffering from a bullet wound in the groin. The cablegram did not say whether he is slightly or dangerously wounded. Let us hope it is the former and that he will soon be right again. He enlisted in Melbourne and sailed for Egypt last December. From Egypt he went to Gaba Tepe, where he landed on April 24th, and he has had seven months of trench warfare, accompanied by terrible hardships. Before enlisting he was employed on the Victorian Railways as block recorder. He discharged his duties in an efficient manner and was due for promotion, with good prospects before him. But like many other loyal sons of the Empire, he resigned his position and went to the rugged heights of Gallipoli to fight for his King and country."
