A moment’s thought on courage

This booklet was given to Sergeant Major Graves Chapman Stanley by his son in June 1915. Stanley, aged 41, was an education department worker who had enlisted at Blackboy Hill, Western Australia, in September 1914. He served in Egypt and Palestine, until he was discharged as medically unfit in February 1918. Stanley was diagnosed with neurasthenia, a condition that would later be described as shell shock.
