Lieutenant Gerald McHarg

Description

Gerald McHarg was born in Melbourne in 1893. His father had established a business with offices in London and Melbourne, and at the outbreak of war Gerald McHarg was employed in the London office of his father's firm Brooks McGlashan and McHarg (a drapery or soft goods merchant). McHarg enlisted for service with the London Scottish Regiment, later becoming a lieutenant in the Royal Field Artillery. McHarg returned to Australia before the end of the war and married Linda Grace Neave in Melbourne in 1918. The pair likely met in England where Linda had been working as a nurse in a military hospital in Kent. After six months in Australia the couple returned to the United Kingdom and McHarg resumed his pre-war occupation. They remained in England for the next six years where their son, John Andrew, was born. In 1924 they returned to Australia and McHarg worked in the Melbourne branch of the family firm before they divorced in 1932. Gerald McHarg died in 1961 in Melbourne.
