World War I - Henry Thomas Lockyer.
« on: Sunday 07 June 20 05:31 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I have the attached picture which I have been told was Henry Thomas Lockyer, but I don't believe it is.  I have been unable to find any service records for him (he was born in 1882) but have found two of his brother's records - Albert Edward Lockyer and Francis George Lockyer, both from WWI.
Also his son's Henry Gordon Lawson Lockyer from WWII.  I believe this might be a photo of one of his brother's and his sister.

Just a few questions please; 

Is this an Australian WWI uniform?
Do the archives have photos of servicemen so I could match up who this is?
Can anyone find any Australian war record of Henry Thomas Lockyer?

Thanks in advance. :)

Hi, thanks, Henry Thomas Lockyer was born abt. 1882 in England, but was in Australia from a very early age.  I have a copy of his son's service record and a copy of this two brother's enlistment record, but can't find anything on him.

Hi, he was born abt. 1882, migrated to Australia, married in Australia, had kids in Australia and died in Australia.  I have all of those details. 

I am just trying to find out if he was in the military so I can work out who the photo is of as I was told it was of him but I can't find any military records for him, just his younger brothers.

Thanks
Deb

No expert , but I think the photo is more likely to be WW1.
If Henry Thomas Lockyer was born c1882 then I don't think he would have served in WW2.

I'll move this to the WW1 Board and alter the heading , see what they think.
