The following is my profile submission for my grandfather for the World War 1 Centennial. Here is a link to the site: https://www.worldwar1centennial.org/index.php Private William George Hallett – 1919 Company K – 332 nd Infantry American Expeditionary Force in Italy William George Hallett, (my grandfather), born 19 March, 1895 in Brisbane, Australia, the son of a Merchant Marine in England (George William Hallett) and a governess (Ann Mitchell Hallett), had the value of patriotic duty instilled in him at an early age. Growing up on a sheep station in Australia (land-granted to his parents by Queen Victoria) gave him a keen understanding of hard work, survival in rough conditions and the challenges of making a life in this world. George and Ann emigrated with William and his two younger sisters to the U.S. after 13 years on the sheep station in Australia and settled in western Pennsylvania, where George found work in the coal mines.
