Who was Harry Daniel?
Harold 'Harry' Daniel was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian Football League.
Originally from the Ballarat region, Daniel played VFL football at Port Melbourne before joining Carlton for the 1901 VFL season. He put together 11 games in the first 12 rounds, as a defender, before returning to Port Melbourne.
Daniel would later fight in World War I as a private with the 5th Battalion. He was awarded a Military Medal in 1917 for bravery during an offensive against the German lines at Ypres. A month later, he was seriously injured after taking fire from a machine-gun and was evacuated to England for treatment. He returned in March 1918 but was killed in action by shellfire three months later in the Battle of Amiens.
