**Harold "Harry" Daniel**, [MM](/source/Military_Medal) (19 June 1879 – 10 August 1918) was an [Australian rules footballer](/source/Australian_rules_football) who played with [Carlton](/source/Carlton_Football_Club) in the [Victorian Football League](/source/Australian_Football_League) (VFL).

Originally from the Ballarat region, Daniel played in the [Victorian Football Association](/source/Victorian_Football_Association) at [Port Melbourne](/source/Port_Melbourne_Football_Club)[1] before joining Carlton for the [1901 VFL season](/source/1901_VFL_season). He put together 11 games in the first 12 rounds, as a defender, before returning to Port Melbourne.[2]

Daniel would later fight in the [First World War](/source/First_World_War) as a private with the [5th Battalion](/source/5th_Battalion_(Australia)). He was awarded a [Military Medal](/source/Military_Medal) in 1917 for bravery during an offensive against the German lines at [Ypres](/source/Ypres_1917). A month later, he was seriously injured after taking fire from a machine-gun and was evacuated to England for treatment. He returned to the front in March 1918 but was killed in action by shellfire three months later in the [Battle of Amiens](/source/Battle_of_Amiens_(1918)).[3]
