Add my storyBiography contributed by Faithe Jones
Son of Henry Gordon HAWKINS and Rachael nee TURNBULL, Charleville, Qld.
Called Harry, and born in Charleville in 1887, Harry became a skilled horseman, regularly competing in buck-jumping competitions in Charleville and aboard. He was a world champion 'Rough Rider' and horse-breaker whose skills in handling horses were eagerly sought after by the Remount Unit of the First AIF. Harry enlisted in Charleville in October 1915, and embarked for Egypt a month later.
