Daniel Brendon Carroll DSC (17 November 1888, possibly 1892 – 5 August 1956) was an Australian national representative rugby union player.
He served in the American Army as a lieutenant in World War I and lived out his life in the US, working in the mining/petroleum industry.
Australia had already beaten Cornwall, the British county champions, early in the tour, and Scotland, Ireland and France had all turned down the Rugby Football Union's invitation to participate in the Olympic bouts.
[4] At the tour's end, McKivat would lead fourteen of the Wallabies into the professional ranks with the fledgling rugby league code in Sydney, but Carroll stayed loyal to the amateur game and was rewarded in 1912 when he was again selected in the Wallabies squad for the 1912 Australia rugby union tour of Canada and the United States.
They rose to the occasion for the sole Test of the tour – the November 1912 clash against the United States at Berkeley, won 12–8.
He served in the American Army as a lieutenant in World War I and won a Distinguished Service Cross.
[8] Carroll married Helen Warden from Great Falls, Montana in 1927 and had one son, Daniel – who is deceased.
