| Note | Harry was born in 1887 at Payneham (SA), in the hills east of Adelaide (SA). His family moved to Victoria the following year and settled in the Melbourne (Vic) suburb of Caulfield (Vic). Pte. Henry Penrose ROWNEY (No. 4765) served in the AIF during the Great War. At the time of his enlistment he was described as 5'6" with brown hair, brown eyes, and a fresh complexion. He enlisted in Melbourne (Vic) on 8 Jan 1916 and served with the 24th Battalion AIF. Harry sailed from Melbourne aboard the HMAT "Euripides" for overseas service on 4 Apr 1916. He joined his battalion in France on 31 Oct 1916. Harry was wounded in action on 3 May 1917, receiving a gun-shot wound to the lower left thigh. After hospitalisation in France and England, Harry was returned to Australia, arriving home aboard the HT "Runic" on 20 Dec 1917. He was discharged from Army service on 20 Apr 1918 as medically unfit. Harry married Floss BILLINGS in 1918. After their marriage, they lived in Fisher Street, East Malvern (Vic), where their son George was born in 1920. Harry was active in the Masonic Lodge where he is believed to have served as a Grand Sword Bearer. Harry died at Heidelberg (Vic) in 1949 at the stated age of 63. He possibly died in the Veteran's Hospital at Heidelberg. Floss died at Bentleigh (Vic) in 1962 at the age of 80. |
