Harold Barry

Lieutenant

London Gazette, 11 November 1904.— Special Memorandum (see below) relating to the undermentioned officer.
M'CORMICK, HAROLD BARRY, Lieutenant, was born 3 September 1867, son of William H M'Cormick. Solicitor, of Geelong, Victoria, and of Mrs M'Cormick. He served in South Africa with the West Australian Contingent, and was promoted Lieutenant 14 March 1901. He was mentioned in Despatches [London Gazette, 29 July 1902], and was created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order in recognition of services during the operations in South Africa. The award of the decoration to Lieutenant H B M'Cormick was evidently confused with that to Lieutenant John M'Cormick, of the Tasmanian Imperial Bushmen. Memorandum [London Gazette, 11 November 1904]: “The notification which appeared in the London Gazette of 21 April 1903, relating to Lieutenant H M'Cormick and the award to him of the Distinguished Service Order, is in addition to—and not in substitution of—those of the 29th July 1902, and the 31st October 1902, relating to Lieutenant J M'Cormick. The description of the first-named officer is Lieutenant H B M'Cormick, 6th Contingent, West Australian Mounted Infantry”. He retired with the rank of Lieutenant after the South African War. He became Captain, Special Reserve, East Lancashire Regiment, 29 August 1914. He served in the European War in 1914 and 1915, in Gallipoli (wounded) and in Mesopotamia. He was appointed Lieutenant Colonel of a service battalion of the East Lancashire Regiment 15 May 1917. Captain M'Cormick was a pioneer in West Australian gold-mining, and was Secretary of the West Australian Chamber of Mines; explored and developed minerals in Lower Egypt and the Sudan. He was engaged in opening up the rubber industry in Burmah. His favourite recreations were golf and big game shooting. He rowed No. 5 in the Victoria Interstate Eight. He married, in 1904, and has a son and a daughter.
