Find Ancestors

Wow, thank you ArgyllGran and Erika H, I would never have found any of this information without your help. I am very, very grateful.
My family will be over the moon when I tell them the true story of our relatives that went overseas, not the chinese whispers that I have heard since my youth.
I really am so very grateful to both of you, I don't know how you do it.
I shall mark this entry as stop watching and answered.
Best wishes to you both.

Delighted to have been able to help a little

Stay safe

seems Herbert joined the Australian Army or was gov enlisted,--24/1/1916...at Blackboy Hill. WA.

There are 36 pages of detailed Service Records free within online Australian Archives they are worth viewing,,,downloading and printing off,,,,,,,

Herbert was 5ft 9,
Blue Eyes,
Brown Hair,
154 lbs,
NOK was Mother Alice, Scarr of White Moss?Farm Middleton Manchester,

25-5-1918 Bessie Scarr. of Lowes Road,Limefield Bury Lancs became NOK,

I'm sure it states he returned to Australia 1919 with wife and 1 child.on,,Wakehe? -family ship.?

Thank you Kay for your help in this , I shall certainly visit the Australian Archives.
I shall stop watching this thread now that I have lots of good information to take my search further.
Many, many thanks and Best wishes.
