On the 25th August 1895, Ernest Alfred Hall was born into a
pioneering Australian family that lived on a 313-acre property
called 'Cloverdale' near the hamlet of Beech Forest, south of the
Otway Ranges, some 200 kilometres south west of Melbourne,
Victoria. As a child, it seemed he would be destined for the life
of a farmer in a country that was just realising its independence
through Federation, yet his path was to be diverted by the
cataclysmic events that befell Europe and the British Empire. So it
was, that one month short of his 20th birthday, Ernest caught the
train to Melbourne and enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force.
At only 5' 3" he was never going to be the biggest soldier in the
army, but as his father said to him, "It's not the size of the dog
in the fight, son, but the size of the fight in the dog." Like so
many, Ernest Hall embarked for the war to end all wars. Unlike so
many, his letters and records survived. This is his story.
