| Miscellaneous information from cemetery records | First particulars for this card have been taken from N.R. of A.I.F. Deceased, and from the carded record received from the Australian section of I.W.G.C. Although the latter records deceased as having been interred in the Kantara War Memorial Cemetery, the entry has apparently been omitted from the War Graves Register. This omission is presumed to be due to inadvertence and/or because the remains of deceased were exhumed and re-interred in the Cemetery subsequent to the printing of the Register. Son of Mrs S.L. MACLAREN, 83 Alma Road, St. Kilda, Victoria~ |
