Declared medically unfit to enlist in 1914, Stanley Addison joined the Australian Branch of the British Red Cross Society in October 1915, and was among those selected and trained to inquire after missing soldiers. He served on Lemnos, at Gallipoli, in Egypt and France, and was mentioned in dispatches.In March 1918 Addison was commissioned temporary sub-lieutenant in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. Briefly attached to the personal staff of his former 'chief' Bragg (then Professor of Physics at University College, London) Addison was directly involved in setting up bases for hydrophone-equipped patrol boats. Invalided from the navy in October 1918, he joined the staff of Professor (Sir) Henry Barraclough and helped to oversee the welfare of some five thousand Australian munitions workers in Britain. While assisting with their repatriation, Addison was transferred in 1919 to the Department of Defence, Melbourne. From ADB entry
