Hi
I am doing some research on soldiers in the Great War and am having trouble with Lewis Braganza or Louis. He died in 1916 while a prisoner of war.
Thank you for your help.

Hi McG
His name is on CWGC site, and his military record is in the Australian Archives to be viewed (as Cass points out) - and I imagine you must have seen these?
What is it you are having trouble with exactly - lest we spend time searching and reporting what you already know!
Cheers

His birth is registered as BREGENZE and siblings as BREGENZER. Most Trove newspaper references seem to be as BREGENZER.

Thank you
Yes I have already seen his record and have found his AWM file.
Debra you have found what I was looking for , his birth. Have searched Trove and found little on Louis or his mother Christina.
Am tying to work up a picture of who he was.
Again many thanks

There is a death registration for Louis BREGENZER, registered Tamworth 11386/1907.
Could be him.
Your Lewis/Louis was born at Inverell and had been in the Australian Light Horse at Tamworth.
Also Lewis had put his NoK as his mother and not his father which could indicate that his father had died before 1915.

The Louis BREGENZER whose death registration was 11386/1907 at Tamworth had his father as Louis and mother as Margaret.
Gerry

Brother of ERNEST RAYMOND.

Effects of a pea rifle shot wound in the region of the hear inflicted by himself, but whether accidentally or otherwise the evidence adduced does not enable me to say.
