Alfred Ernest Henry Carrick was born in 1867 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, the son of Thomas James Carrick and his wife Selina Henrietta Carrick. He married Jennie Alicia Bray in Sydney on 5 January 1891, but the marriage failed with reports in the Sydney Evening News of Alfred being placed on remand and charged with having assaulted a 'Miss Ellen Simmons'; the pair were divorced in 1894 and Alfred travelled to South Africa to serve during the Boer War. He subsequently served in the Natal Field Artillery at the time of the Bambata Rebellion in 1906, in addition to active service with the 12th Citizen Battery in German South-West Africa in the Great War.
