Birthdate of WW2 Australian Navy casualty Michael Sofoulis
« on: Wednesday 06 April 16 21:25 BST (UK) »
Michael Sofoulis was born in Perth, Western Australia in 1922, and I am trying to confirm his full birth date, which some unofficial records say is 26 December, and others January 5 or 6.
He died on 27 November 1941 when HMAS 'Parramatta' was sunk by a U-boat off the coast of Tobruk.

Type in his service number. One of them is his and has been digitised (just two pages though)
