Biography contributed by Claude McKelvey

When William Frederick Hyde enlisted in 1901 in the 5th QIB and his details were published with the rank and file in The Queenslander, 16 Mar 1901, he noted his N.O.K. as his father H. Hyde, P.M., Stanthorpe. In the original Nominal Roll for the 5th Queensland Imperial Bushmen Contingent, held by National Archives, it notes his N.O.K. as his father F. H. Hyde, P.M., Stanthorpe. The Boer War Service Paybooks for the 5th QIB, Bk 3 p. 18, indicates his address as at Beenleigh.

William Frederick Hyde was born on 23 Aug 1882 in Queensland, a son to Frederick Hamilton Hyde and Jane Gordon Hyde (nee Hill).
