Potential Titles: Harry McCann
Long before the day's surrender - Harry McCann "Killed in Action" [The Anzac Book: Written and Illustrated in Gallipoli by the Men of Anzac, 1916]
Where a river used to tumble to the sea - Harry McCann "Killed in Action" [The Anzac Book: Written and Illustrated in Gallipoli by the Men of Anzac, 1916]
In a thousand miles of ugly scrubby waste and desolation - Harry McCann "Killed in Action" [The Anzac Book: Written and Illustrated in Gallipoli by the Men of Anzac, 1916]
More or less a business matter - Harry McCann "Killed in Action" [The Anzac Book: Written and Illustrated in Gallipoli by the Men of Anzac, 1916]
Gazing on her hopes so surely shattered - Harry McCann "Killed in Action" [The Anzac Book: Written and Illustrated in Gallipoli by the Men of Anzac, 1916]
The Anzac Book (ed. by C.E.W. Bean) - PG. 1916. Anthology of works men from Australia and New Zealand then serving at Gallipoli. There are a lot of valid complaints and a lot of discussions of death. Some of it is prose. Some of it is satirical. Some of it is heartbreakingly sincere. Some of it is racist.
Probably not the poet but a Wikipedia page for someone with the same family name who was in the same place at the same time.
No reason to think the above link was him. The surname isn't rare. But this one was in the right place at the right time as part of the right general group. I wouldn't expect 'Harry' as a nickname for this one, but large, extended families do weirder when they've got multiple people with the same given name. My grandmother's name was Edith, but her birth family called her Betty to distinguish her from her mother.
At the very least, this bio links to pertinent things for whoever the author actually was.
