Date of Death25 April 1915In Memoriam"Ex-Lincolnians heard with very deep regret of the demise of Harold Harding, who was posted missing after the landing at Gallipoli. He was educated at Wanganui Collegiate School, and subsequently attended Lincoln College from 1912 to 1913. Harding was a strapping type of New Zealander, and would have developed into a first-class farmer. At College he will be remembered for his pluck at football, and for the loyalty and earnestness of his character. Genial and willing at all times, he was much liked by a very wide circle of friends, and very genuine sympathy will go out to the parents of such a gallant soldier."Source1917 Canterbury Agricultural College Magazine (No. 37 June 1917), p408PersonHarold HardingMilitary Serial Number14/41Military RankPrivateExternal LinkCenotaph DatabaseCommonwealth War Graves CommissionMilitary personnel fileKeywordsGallipoliWanganui CollegiateWorld War OneRoll of HonourKilled in Actionactive serviceGreat War
