Add my storyBiography contributed by Claude McKelvey
When Henry McNalley enlisted in 1901 in the 5th QIB and his details were published, under the name McNally, with the rank and file in The Queenslander, 16 Mar 1901, he noted his N.O.K. as R. McNalley, Macksville, NSW. In the original nominal roll for the 5th Queensland Imperial Bushmen Contingent, held by National Archives, his N.O.K. was recorded as being his cousin.
In the Boer War Service Paybooks for the 5th QIB, Bk 3 p. 101, it is noted he was discharged in South Africa. Newspaper reports indicate he was discharged to allow him to take up employment in South Africa.
