Add my storyBiography contributed by Stephen Brooks
Harry Caine enlisted at Dubbo NSW, and gave his next of kin as his father, also Harry Caine, address unknown. Harry stated he was 30 years of age and a labourer, born in 'Nil' Victoria (Nhill).
Harry was wounded in action on the 21 September 1918, by shrapnel hitting him in the chest, and died of wounds the next day in the 12th Casualty Clearing Station.
No family members could be traced and his medals, personal effects, plaque and photographs of his grave etc. were marked as "untraceable".
