What happened to Sarah Ann? When did he return to South Africa and come back again to Australia?

 

Sarah Ann died 25th April 1953.

This information comes from the digitised WW1 record of her son Norman Albert GIRLING.
She had a pension from the government because he was killed in action during his overseas action.

Thank you everyone for your help, some questions resolved, some remain, some pop up for the first time! I will sift through it all and get back to you all!

I apologise for my tardy response. My beautiful dog died Thursday morning, so I've been in a bit of a daze, still am actually.

So sorry, ozlady.  Losing a loved pet is horrible.

Take care, Judith

Gerry - a brilliant find; that newspaper article explains a lot.
