Biography contributed by Mari Walker

Son of Eric James and Ruby Maude Harding, of Dee Why, New South Wales, Australia.

Ross enlisted firstly in the Australian Military Forces on 14 April 1942 and was discharged to join the RAAF on 20 June 1942. A notice was placed in the newspaper on 15 December 1944 which indicated he was missing, believed killed, in air operations. At the end of December his parents and brother placed a memorial notice thanking everyone for their expressions of sympathy in their sad loss.

He enjoyed Swimming, Cricket and Football.

GOD HAS CALLED HIM TO THAT HOME WHERE ALL IS PEACE
