Private John (Barney) Hines Memorial Middle Image Image Image Image Image Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background Sandstone bushrock memorial with two plaques attached, located in the Mt Druitt Waterholes Remembrance Garden. The main plaque features a copy of a photograph of John 'Barney' Hines which is held in the collections of the Australian War Memorial. Inscription Main plaque The face that got the Kaiser's goat! When the photo of brazen World War I digger John (Barney) Hines, The Souvenir King, fell into the hands of Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm he promptly put a price on Barney's head, dead or alive. But the 'barbarian' the Kaiser believed typical of Australian troops on the Western Front, spent the rest of his days in Mount Druitt and died in Concord Repatriation Hospital in 1958, age 84. John Hines Road in Minchinbury recalls the lovable larrikin. (Australian War Memorial) Smaller plaque 2296 Private J. Hines 45 Battalion 2.1.1958 Age 84.
