Notes

Military

Joined the No.76 Australian Infantry Force, 2nd Battalion, 1st
Division in `9`4 and served in France intil 11 August 1919 during WW1.

Marriage

They met in France during the War. Assisted by his mates with their
peculiar Australian sense of humour, he learnt a few words of French
to address his suit to her father. Fortunately Monsieur Pauchet had a
sense of humour and questioned William as to the source of his words.
He then revealed that some of the things he had been saying were not
very polite - he had been taught some very rough language.

Burial

At Tharwa Road Lawn Cemetery.
Service held at St Raphael's Catholic Church at 11:00am
Funeral Directors: H O'Rourke.
