Add my storyBiography contributed by Claude McKelvey
When Harrison Dan Jones 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, Mount Morgan. In the Boer War Service Paybooks for the 5th QIB, Bk 3 p. 35, it is noted he directed part of his pay to his father Mr. E. C. Jones, Mount Morgan. It appears following his discharge he returned to Mount Morgan where newspaper reports place him in 1910.
