A clerk from Seymour, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Binns embarked with the 13th Reinforcements, 6th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Demosthenes on 29 December 1915. Later wounded in the chest and arm he was evacuated to England. Due to the severity of his wounds he returned to Australia on 13 February 1917 and was medically discharged.
