Brother of 7042 Private Robert Gerald Conway (KIA) and 1310 Corporal Arthur Edward Conway.
John Cornelius Conway somehow missed his 5th Light Horse Reinforcement’s November embarkation at Sydney, a criminal offence. In December he enlisted in Sydney using the alias John Walker and embarked with the 19th Battalion 13th Reinforcements in July 1916. He arrived in France in November soon after the 19th’s heavy losses at Flers. He was killed in action at Gueudecourt near Flers after three weeks at the front. His body was never recovered.
