I think that Friedrich Heinrich SCHROEDER's mothers name was Betty Anna Siemering BAHN (in spite of being Betty Anna SIEMERING on Freidrich's death certificate).

She also died in Australia (11 JUN 1929 in Murrayville, Victoria) and her death certificate lists father as   Frederick Jurgen BAHN and mother as Sophie Margarethe SIEMERING.

Though at this point, anything is possible!

Hello.

I have found this record from my grandfather on the WWII Nominal Roll website:
http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=R&veteranId=858711

but I do not know what the Posting at Discharge  = EAHQR code means.

I am sure it should be obvious, but I can not 'get' it. East Australian Head Quarter Regiment??? See, I am just making things up!

Thanks, Tracey

I haven't forgotten about this!

The Rev Tym from Coonamble Anglican Church is going to look up the original details for me (the records are still kept at the parish, not at the Bathurst diocese) when he gets back from his holiday in two weeks 

I am looking forward to a little bit of clarification!

Betty is NOK in this WW2 Service Summary

I knew Paul was in the Air Force during WWII. My mother-in-law told me that he desperately wanted to fly combat but since he was one of few qualified to teach they kept him in Australia as an instructor instead.

Elsa died nine months after my mother in law was born, in 1949. The Australian Cemetery Index has "Wilhelm Heinrich" listed as her father, though no headstone photo to confirm.....wonder if I can convince my mother in law to go on a trip and take a picture of it

Thanks Svenja. I have no idea what religion Luis was. I will see if I can track down his original death record and see what I can find from that.

Thanks
