Posting on Death 3 Australian Infantry Battalion

 

BLISS, Private, GEORGE LEONARD FARRELL, N244163. A.C.M.F. 3 Bn.

Australian Infantry. 19th October 1942. Age 20. Son of Farrell and

Rebecca Bliss (nee Privett), of Yass, New South Wales. C7. E. 10.

 

George Leonard Farrell Bliss was born on the property known as "Spring

Valley" - the same property his grandfather, George Henry Bliss,

convict, was granted when given a Ticket of Leave in 1839.

 

He was called up in 1942 into the Militia and drafted into the Third

Australian Infantry Battalion. He was not tall and was slightly built

but quite used to hard farm work and sleeping rough, whilst out rounding

up cattle.

 

Following his call-up and brief training, he was sent to New Guinea and

Kokoda. He was amongst A.I.F. returned volunteers.

 

His rural background made him keenly observant of things around him and

he was used to using a gun.

 

George and another young soldier were sent as scouts by their Unit

Lieutenant, who was later demoted for sending out inexperienced

youngsters in this role.

 

Both youngsters were killed on the track and cannibalised

 

There is a memorial to George and others killed on the Kokoda Track in

Concord, NSW.
