His son Roy Garfield put his age up and joined from Tamworth in 6 March 1916 (he had been born in September 1900) and embarked on HMAT A23 Suffolk on the 24th of April 1917 and was sent to France and ended up in his father's battalion. His father had him sent back to England till he came of age, Roy then went back to France (how unlucky can you be?). He returned to Australia on the 3rd of July 1919 on the Prinz Hubertus.
