Fred Johnston was a joiner from Dundas, NSW. At just 20 years old, he was killed in the Battle of Fromelles on 19 July 1916. His cousin, Private George Henry Johnston of the 53rd Battalion, was also killed that same night. Neither has a known grave — their names are inscribed on the V.C. Corner Memorial in France, alongside 410 Australians who remain missing.
