Biography
cartoonist and army sergeant, drew a very crude cartoon of a man in undress blowing a trumpet labelled 'The Squeak of the Ballyrats’ and signed it as '5th of 26th Battn’, while serving in it in WWI. The original was presented to the Mitchell Library in 1919 for inclusion in its collection of servicemen’s and women’s diaries of World War I. It was presumably an amateur offering for one of the service annuals or other souvenir publications. Australian War Memorial and National Archives of Australia records reveal that George Theodore Robertson had been a clerk, aged 19 years, 3 months, of Trevallyn, Launceston, Tasmania, when he enlisted with the A.I.F. (7th Infantry Brigade, 26th Battalion, 5th Reinforcements) on 4 August 1915. Private Robertson was promoted to Corporal in March 1916 and to Sergeant some time afterwards. Sergeant Robertson was killed in action in France on 29 July 1916. His parents were George and Edith Robertson, also of Trevallyn. This entry is a stub. You can help DAAO by submitting a biography.
