Biography

Decendant's comment: James Hayman (nephew):- "George was the eldest of a family of thirteen, including my father and he said that the family was very upset by his death, but proud of his contribution to Australia’s war effort. Our family today is also proud of Uncle George’s war service and treasure the World War I medallion that was presented to the families of all those who died in the war." - SOURCE (www.centralwesterndaily.com.au)
