This is possibly son Alec's WW1 service record -  Alexander James GRIEVE born Aldershot, England and with NOK sister Annie GRIEVE

If so then his sister Annie moves to NZ  (letter in the records).

I can't help noticing an Alexander Dumbreck Gray GRIEVE who died in 1961.   I don't know where he fits yet but with that unusual middle name of Dumbreck I feel he belongs in this family somewhere ...?

Death NSW 1961
Alexander Dumbreck G GRIEVE, father James, mother Marian, at Balmain reg 9645/1961

Attached is his death notice from 27 April, 1961, Sydney Morning Herlad
