H. Tucker appears on the list of South Adelaide recruits submitted to The Advertiser by secretary Pearce in June 1916. This must be Harold George Tucker, born Camberwell, London, 1891. He enlisted at Morphettville in September 1914, and served with the 3rd Light Horse, departing from Newcastle in December 1914.
Tucker can only be found in some Sturt reserves team lists in 1911-1912. He must have had some connection with South at some point, however. Both clubs played near each other in the South Parklands, and he could have trained with them or played a few games here and there (A.N.Other?)
Tucker survived a bullet wound to the right ear at Gallipoli in July 1916. After recovering he rejoined his unit in Egypt, but did not ride with them into Palestine. He was detached to the Western Border Force, which defended Egypt against raids from pro-Ottoman Senussi tribesmen from Libya. He then had a stint with the Anzac Provost corps, patrolling the streets of Cairo on the lookout for anti-British demonstrations (or deserters).
In England in 1918, Tucker was given non-military leave to study farming – he had said he was a mechanical engineer with an interest in farming on his enlistment forms. Harold George Tucker took his discharge in England on September 23rd 1919 and did not return to Australia.
