Even as a Lower Boy he had a quiet dignity, which made him as much respected as he was liked, and this was always a characteristic which gave him a certain distinction wherever he went. Though he was much hampered by ill-health, he gained the House Colours, and many will remember his dashing game. In 1910, he was in the Shooting VIII, and a Colour-Sergt., and brought the Section Cup to his House, in the same year winning the Scott Cup and Bucks County Cup. No boy had ever a higher standard of conduct; devoted to all manly sport (he kept a pack of harriers in Ireland after he left Eton), and full of Irish humour, he had at the same time the refinement of mind of a saint, though few knew the thoughts which underlay his life.

On 31 Jan. 1913, in his 14th year, he was registered among the senior cadets, Sydney, in compliance with the Commonwealth Defence Act; was promoted Corpl. 1 May, 1914; passed and promoted to Colour-Sergt. 17 June, 1914, and passed for 2nd Lieut. 28 March, 1915, his appointment being confirmed a few days before he enlisted, so that he was the youngest commissioned officer in the Australian Commonwealth Forces. He enlisted on 2 June, 1915, and as he had passed in Musketry as “Marksman” in the cadets, his former training held good, and he only remained a few days in the Liverpool Training Camp, and left Sydney on 16 June, as L.-Corpl. of the sixth reinforcements for the 2nd Battn. of the 1st Infantry Brigade. He was about a fortnight in Cairo and was hurried off to Gallipoli, arriving at Anzac and joining his battn. on 5 Aug.

Harris, is with me, and I shall try to keep him with me throughout the campaign. He is a gallant little fellow, with the greatest of military virtues--faithfulness--and as such is of very great assistance to his officers. If he had only a few years more to his credit, he would make a fine officer. Meanwhile he is doing his duty without a thought of self, and will serve his country as an Australian gentleman should. I will try to keep him with me, and to see after him so far as I can. Of course, my power is very limited, but we are both in God’s hands, and He doeth all things well.” [Lieut. La Touche was killed on 6 Aug.] Lieut.-Col. Cass, commanding the 2nd Battn., wrote: “But you may rest assured that he took part in one of the outstanding features of the Gallipoli fighting, and did his duty well.” Like many other Australian boys, he was full of enthusiasm in military matters, but his career was an all too brief one. He was only 15 years and 10 months old when he died. “Purpureus cum flos succisus aratro.”

My platoon has lost a good soldier and a favourite companion”; and a comrade, writing to his own father, said: “I am very sorry to say they killed a young fellow called Harris, one of the old stagers of St. Nazaire. He Was frail looking and slim, and quite a boy, with an almost girlish face, but had the spirit of a bulldog and the soul of a saint. The grit with which he stuck the hardships of the winter, and his continual cheeriness and helping of others, when he was almost done up himself, used to make me proud to be in the regt. with him. When a spirit of such temper as that of young Harris is lost from among us, I tell you it leaves a very big gap indeed.”
