HODGETTS, Leonard Frederick
In March, 1916, Cec was fit and sailed with the battalion from Alexandria to Marseilles, catching a train for the Western Front, where it is believed he was gassed in one of the Battles of The Somme. Within weeks he was classified “dangerously ill’’ and stated to have pneumonia and was transferred to a London hospital. In 1917 he returned to France and was there until the war’s end, occasionally getting into trouble for being away from duties but winning promotion to lance-corporal and temporary sergeant. He re-enlisted in 1939, keeping up the pretence he was born in 1896. He served as a sergeant in Australia for almost four years.
He returned to Australia 28 March 1919, married and moved to Albury in the 1920s, fathered three children and died in the city in 1951. Cec Hogan is buried with his wife, Helen, at the Albury Pioneer Cemetery
