George "Happy" Greenhalgh was an original member of the unit, embarking aboard SS Zealandia on 8 Dec 1941 for Timor as a Signalman, Signals Sect, Headquarters Group. After the campaign on Timor, he embarked with the unit for Australia aboard the Royal Dutch destroyer Tjerk Hiddes on either 11 Dec 1942 or 16 Dec 1942, as the embarkation rolls do not differentiate.

After further leave and reorganisation, he embarked for New Britain aboard Taroona on 9 Apr 1945 with the unit as a Corporal attached to A Troop.
He was discharged on 7 Jan 1946.
