Whatever happened to Albert Charles Truslove

[Stuart_McDonald]

Hi
I am trying to trace Albert Charles Truslove who was born at Midland Junction, Western Australia in 1918.  He was a son of Charles Leslie Truslove and Gertrude Ellen Canlon/Scanlon.  His parents separated and died in 1957 (WA) and 1959 (VIC) respectively.  Known as Bert, he married Winifred Flanagan in WA in 1942 and seems to disappear from records and newspapers around 1946.  He was a serving police officer and an amateur boxer.  I can last locate him on an electoral roll in 1943 living with his wife in WA.  His wife is locatable on rolls without Bert up until the mid 1960s when she either remarried or changed her name, she passed away in 1992 in Victoria.
But what happened to Bert?  Can anyone offer suggestions where else to search?  I've looked at the obvious online resources.
Many thanks
Stuart McDonald, York WA

From Trove.nla.gov.au  WA newspapers, the following references to Bert Truslove:

10 July 1952  Floral tributes to funeral at Keendenup from Bert and Ruby Truslove and family
April1953 Oct 1953 Mt Barker   ditto floral tributes                  ditto

So who is Ruby?

Apologies: Ruby Truslove d 2006 Memorial says wife of HERBERT. So no connection?

That Bert is named Herbert. I looked at him last night.
I cannot remember the details, but am sure it’s a different man. (He’s a farmer)

Probably no help but Trove has him on a transfer to Boulder in October 1943.

From Perth Mirror, 30 October 1943
Boxer For Boulder
PC Bert Truslove, of Vic. Park, former crack middleweight boxer, left last night for Boulder on transfer.
He should be welcome in sporting circles on the Goldfields as he is a clever boxer and skipping artist.

Thanks Judith, secondary sets of eyes are always welcome.  He's slow progress, I mean his name is not that common, but my last positive sighting is 1946.
Thanks again, Stuart
