It looks like Herbert's brother Maurice was also in Australia, a link to his service record index:

I think Herbert and Gertrude had more than one child as Maurice's death notice describes him as a son and brother:

EDIT:
The notes on the inquest say he died of accidental injuries when his motor cycle was out of control.

Thanks for that MarieCeleste. You have just jogged a memory. I remember my mum talking about Gwen, but I thought she was a twin. The name Vicky (Victoria?) also comes to mind. I will have a look on Ancestry and see if I can find out more when I have added Gwen to my tree there. I should have asked my mum more questions before she died shouldn't I? Bob
