Hello  there LA

this chap is on the NAA site but his record hasnt been digilatised

you will have to click on request a ccopy  and then wait a good six weeks for it to appear

by the records i would hazard a guess and say his dad also fought in the war  he was born in the uk

do you need any info for him  other than this war record annie

hello there  annie

ok  so that is your great uncle and his son is buried in the Ambon cemetery

now there appears to be a brother  to milner oswald oswald Reginald  would that be correct?

also it appears that the mother Caroline died in 1935
