Hello Mark, Have you tried RecordSearch at http://www.naa.gov.au/ If you put William O'Brien in plus 1914-18 you get 135 possibilities. You can browse these or refine search further if you know more details. If you find him you can get a free copy of his service record digitised on line. Hope this helps, Cheers, Rob. -----Original Message----- From: Mark O'Brien [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, 12 September 2005 9:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [AUS-IMM-SHIPS] Ships Hi, I'm hoping Someone can help I'm stuck.
