Trooper 1520 George Donald Renton 9th Australian Light Horse
« on: Thursday 14 August 14 14:34 BST (UK) »
I am trying to establish if possible the parents of Trooper 1520 George Donald Renton 9th Australian Light Horse who is buried in Cheltenham (Old ) cemetery. He was born around 1885 and on embarkation in 1915 gave his previous address as Footscray. The CWGC website gives no information as to any relatives.

Many thanks,

Baird
