Biography contributed by Stephen Brooks

His older brother, 6588 Pte James Henry Richardson, 13th Battalion AIF, was killed in action at Bullecourt on 11 April 1917. A third brother, Trooper Jack Richardson had returned home to Dubbo in late 1917 after sustaining a gunshot wound to the neck in Palestine.

They were the sons of Robert Patrick and Margaret Richardson, of Dubbo, New South Wales.
