Hi,
the National Archives holds an enlistment record for Hugh St Clair BROCKWAY born 1918. He states born in London. He may well be the grandson of your Walter as he lists his Next of Kin is WALTER BROCKWAY.[per Jenn, Reply #3 ] He enlisted at Claremont, WA.
I think Walter, Hugh's father was a surveyor. Here is a listing for him with his address.
http://www.lslb.wa.gov.au/body_surveyors_b.htm
Hugh died very recently. Here is a funeral notice for him.
http://www.obituary.com.au/obituary/index.php?s=cemetery&paged=445
I am only guessing here, but possibly Walter BROCKWAY [Hugh's father] was Mayor of Claremont Council from 1911 to 1912. a picture of him might be available
