Reverend Captain George Green (1881–1956) was an Anglican clergyman from Emerald and Rockhampton in Central Queensland, Australia, when he enlisted in the Australian Army in September 1914.
Equipped with a Bachelor of Arts from Oxford University, he migrated to Australia and established himself in central Queensland, working in Mount Chalmers, Yeppoon and Emu Park, as part of the North Rockhampton parish, before appointment as the vicar of St Luke's in Emerald, then back to St Paul's Cathedral in Rockhampton.
[2]In his dugout, Green was just as susceptible to sickness, lice and shrapnel fire as his comrades in the front trenches and suffered his share of discomfort and illness.
[1] Padre Green returned to duty in Europe in October 1916 and was taken on strength with the 4th Division headquarters, and later served with the 13th Brigade, the 2nd Australian Auxiliary Hospital, and various A.I.F.
