Biography contributed by Chris Buckley

Private David Thomas O'Halloran (Service No:WX12452) enlisted in the Australian Army on 6 May 1941 and served with 22 Australian Army Service Coy (AASC). Private O'Halloran was Discharged on 25 December 1942 - he was one of three siblings who served in WWII.

Born in 1916 in North Perth WA, David was the fourth of seven children of Martin William O'Halloran (b1876 at Sandhurst, Victoria) and Alice Isabelle Smith(b1887 at Petersburg, South Australia). Martin (a Labourer) and Alice married in 1910 in Perth, WA where they settled and raised their family and Martin worked as a Labourer and Engine Driver.

David was a Labourer (Fibre Fixer) in Perth in 1937 when he married Edna May McLeod (b1918 in Fremantle, WA). Following his Discharge in 1942, David and Edna settled at Claremont in Fremantle WA where David was Fibre Fixer/Plasterer. In 1947 he was a passenger on the back of a truck returning from a dance when he fell onto the roadway and was run over by the truck. David died in hospital in 1947 and Edna died in 1965.
