Harold Hugh Willis

1884 - 1962

• Born	1884	Maitland West, New South Wales, Australia
  Gender	Male
  Buried	1962	Lutwyche Cemetery, Brisbane in Army Section
  Died	26 Apr 1962	Brisbane, Queensland
  Notes	After joining the Army in May 1916, he deserted after three months, and though a warrant was issued for his arrest records show that he was never apprehended. Family members recall he was not much at home. It seems he went to Brisbane, Queensland, where he apparently became friends with a family by the name of Lee (see grave marker) who had him buried under the name of "Harold Francis Willis"
