Studio portrait of 3427 Private (Pte) Cecil Horace "Noddy" or "Noddie" Price, 13th Battalion, of North Sydney, NSW. A labourer prior to enlistment, he embarked from Sydney with the 11th Reinforcements aboard HMAT Port Lincoln on 13 October 1915. He was awarded a Military Medal, according to the recommendation "In the fighting near BULLECOURT on the 11th April, 1917, these two men showed conspicuous bravery as regimental stretcher bearers. The other two men of their squad were both hit by a shell whilst carrying a wounded man, and Privates Price and [3533 J H] Campbell were badly shaken, but they stuck to their work, returning again and again to the enemy's wire although under fire from snipers and machine guns. They continued at this work until both were severely wounded and then refusing help, dragged themselves to the Dressing Station. These men have done consistently good work in all our operations in FRANCE." Pte Price was evacuated to hospital in England but later died of wounds on 24 September 1917, aged 24. His brother 536 Private Frederick Price, 36th Battalion also served in the First World War. A nephew born in 1919 was named Nodfred after his uncles Noddy and Frederick.
