Killed In Action 6 Jun 1915 at Twin Trenches, Anzac. Grave: No Known Grave.

Notes: Fought in Boer War. (Murray 466). (Bean V2 p190) (Unit History (Wilson) 18) (Walker 122). Brisbane Courier 2 Aug 1915. Killed during an attack,Twin Trenches, southern Anzac, late night June 6th: 'The Turkish patrols also seem to have been strengthened, for several sharp encounters occurred during June, one party of the 5th Light Horse Regiment under Lieutenent Hanly being surrounded and its commander killed.' (Bean V2 p190) The unit history of the regiment expands: 'Lieutenant Hanly and party reconnoitred the Twin Trenches. In doing this the patrol mounted the enemy parapet and fired into it from that position. While doing this Lieutenent Hanly was shot. Two other men were wounded. Lieutenant Hanly was carried back a few hundred yards, when the sergeant in charge decided that life was extinct. As the patrol was still under heavy rifle fire, the body was left...' Two search parties attempted to recover Lt Hanly's body, but were unsuccessful. 'The officers of the regiment arranged for a tablet to be erected in the church at Dalby, Queensland...' (Wilson [Unit History] p18). Letter from Sergeant Donald Fraser (5th LHR) to his father, from hospital in Malta, reads in part: 'One night one of our officers took a party of 12 men out in a scouting trip towards the Turkish trenches. He actually charged, and took a trench, killing a number of Turks, but was himself shot. The patrol found they had to retire, and carried the officer's body away a couple of hundred yards, but had to abandon it owing to the heavy Turkish rifle fire. They were away about a mile from our trenches, and were encumbered by having another wounded man with them. The following night I went out in charge of a party to endeavour to get the officer's body. Young Ken Henderson and I had to crawl on our hands and knees and on our stomachs to within one hundred yards of the enemy's trench looking for the body. The night was dark, but it is wonderful how the bayonet reflects starlight, and we had to go carefully. We could hear the Turks talking, knowing that a false move meant a fusilade of bullets. The officer's body had been removed by the Turks, and we were unsuccessful, and we got back safely. It is not usual to risk life in bringing in the dead, but as there was some doubt about this officer being dead, it was decided to find out.' (Rockhampton Daily Record 29 Sep 1915 p7). 'HANLY - killed in action at the Dardanelles, Lieutenant John M. Hanly, 5th Light Horse, late of Roscommon, Kaimkillenbun, on the 6th June 1915.' - 'Roll Of Honour' (The Queenslander 31 Jul 1915 p9).
