THanks Merlin.....
Question?
I have discovered that Leslie Herbert Quigley joined the forces under the name Frank King. So did Frank King actually exist (as in d.o.b, address, etc)? By that i mean is Frank King the real name or is Leslie Quigley the real name? Confused.com!

His birth was registered as Leslie Herbert QUIGLEY so that was his "real" name, though he could use any name he chose.  I don't think the army really cared if the men used an alias as long as it wasn't for illegal purposes.  Did he die in an accident in 1944?

Debra,
glad to say Les lived to the age of 74yrs, dying in 1992.   From what i can gather he enlisted under the alias of Frank King and did a "runner" a year later!   I think he carried that burden for many years and would never talk about his family in Australia but i'm sure he missed them.
Thank you & Merlin for all your help.

Ok, I just thought this may have been him as his death reg. gives his mother's name as Elsie May, but  I think there were two Elsie May QUIGLEYs in Vic. I now see that his death was also registered as BACKHOUSE.  There are stories about them in the news involving a shooting, and looks like a bit of a tangle to work out the relationships so I hope they're not yours.
