What wonderful photos Frontline! Your grandfather was a fine looking man.
For some reason the last 2 posts did not come through to my email so it's by sheer luck that I'm checking RC while waiting for something else to load.
Alan Penno's post is interesting. Strange how things pan out....

I agree, but 'Julia' does not appear next to Clara.

Did your grandfather have any brothers in WW1 with him? Is there a photo of your grandfather you'd be happy to put up on this thread?

Yes, correct. I was aware the 29th Battalion merged with the 32nd in 1918 but our family wondered whether our relatives remained in contact following the war and subsequently my grandfather hiring "Keith Stringer" (we thought possibly a relative of your grandfather). At this stage there doesn't appear to be any evidence that they had anything to do with each other following the war and it's probably pure coincidence that the labourer had the same surname. Keith Stringer is more likely to be related to the South Australian STRINGER family(ies) (well known in South Aussie Rules Football circles).
It would have made a great story if there had been a connection!

Welcome aboard. I guess one question I have is whether there is a Keith Stringer in your family and did he do some labouring work on a South Australian property in the 1940s?

Hello Frontline, what a small world! I see this is your first posting to RootsChat. How did you stumble across this thread about your grandfather?
