Hi

Disappointing.  NOT her :(
Cando,
Yvonne Elsena is Herbert's daughter.
The other Ivy, we have mentioned.

In his war service record the brother of these 2 women, Charles, sites her as 'person to be informed of injury etc."


Sue

ADDING
From service records...
It is noteworthy also that in 1940, Charles did not know his father's address, but did know Yvonne's.
Likewise in 1942
In 1944 Yvonne had a diferent address, which Charles gives, but still does not know his father's whereabouts
By 1949, father and sister are together at the same address. [Cando, electoral]

Now, I cannot help wondering whether Herbert and Sylvia were not in Qld during those years.
