Second Lieutenant, 15th Bn. Australian Infantry
Buried at Lone Pine Memorial
Commemorated at Hillhead High School
Fred C. Youden was one of four brothers who rallied to the colours in the period of stress. He was in Australia when war began, and he was one of the first to answer the call. He joined as a private, but he was quickly promoted through all grades of non-commissioned rank, and finally granted a commission because of his daring and resource. He was a man of fine physique, of an open, frank nature, and greatly beloved by all who knew him.
He seemed destined for high rank, but he fell in an action in Gallipoli. His memory is enshrined in the recollection of those who were associated with him in the old School.
