William Harvey "began his adventures as a soldier in the British Army on the Afghan frontier in India, won the Military Cross in France while serving in the Australian Army, performed deeds as a police officer that are still legendary in our southwest, rejoined the Army in World War 11, rose to the rank of Major, rejoined the police and finally retired as an Inspector in charge of Fremantle in 1949." This website pays tribute to Harvey who "enlisted in the expeditionary force in 1914, survived Gallipoli and eight or nine battles on the western front, was commissioned a Lieutenant and later won the Military Cross for a spectacular feat of bravery while storming a German trench at Morcourt."
