Percy Gartside (Kilsyth): On this day he decides to enlist in the AIF but this only begins a series of strange events where, over the next three years, he is discharged as medically unfit four times, then re-enlists under three different names and then deserts on a number of occasions, is on the run, imprisoned and escapes. Eventually in April 1918 the AIF send him to England but he spends most of the time recovering from a venereal disease before being sent back to Australia in 1919.
