Private David Hunter Bond

 

 

Private David Hunter Bond of Drumskinney, Dromore, County Tyrone, enlisted in the 12 Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers on 9 May 1916. His service with the Inniskillings lasted just 10 days. When his mother learned that he had enlisted she had him discharged, as he was not yet 18 years of age. Undeterred, Bond joined the North Irish Horse under an assumed name - David H. Goodrick (Service No.33050). In 1926 Bond emigrated to Western Australia.
