Henry was the son of Seaforth Mackenzie Bellairs and Miriam ?. Henry is listed in the London Gazette Newspaper dated the 28th of February 1916 as being a supplementary part of the regular corps of the Royal Field Artillary but strangely his name does not appear in the Australian military records as ever being enlisted and his death notice list his as Major Henry Ambrose Aves (Peter) Bellairs M.C.
