Albert Geroge Dearman was born on 9 May 1892, in Houghton, SA, and he was raised in Inglewood, SA – approximately 30 minutes away from Adelaide CBD. Albert was an Australian soldier who fought during WW1 with the 32nd Infantry Battalion.
Before the war, Albert Geroge Dearman worked as a labourer. This role meant that he was performing unskilled manual work.
Alberts's parents were Mrs Adelaide Dearman, and his father was D.C. Dearman.
Albert Geroge Dearman was enlisted in Inglewood, South Australia on the 5th of January 1916, to the 32nd Infantry Battalion. This unit travelled on the ‘HMAT a9 Shropshire’ ship, making their departure on the 25th of March 1916.
During the war, Albert happened to sustain many injuries. He was wounded in France on 22/5/17. He was then wounded in France again during the same year, on 22/10. While performing his duties with the 32nd Battalion, Albert managed to earn the title rank “Lieutenant”. This role meant that Albert was a commissioned officer in the armed forces of his nation, where he could also be described as a deputy or a captain.
After the war, Albert Geroge Dearman returned back to Australia on the 15th of May 1919 after managing to recover from both his injuries. Albert then, unfortunately, passed away on the 27th of September 1967 in Sefton Park.
