National Archives of Australia website should have an entry for his Enlistment and Army records in their catalogue, but having had a look for him, for some reason it does not appear. I have had this experience myself, and contacted them about a missing record, quoting his serial number and other known details, and somehow they found and copied a record for me - but it still doesn't appear in the catalogue. I don't know why. I would suggest you contact them about Andrew Price. They charge around $A17 for a set of soldier's documents, and they are well worth the money. http://www.naa.gov.au/ The next site you should look at is the Australian War Memorial which has a number of databases to look at. http://www.awm.gov.au See the nominal roll for the date of enlistment, death, and unit, mainly as a confirmation. See also the Roll of Honour database - Andrew Price gets a guernsey in that place, showing that he enlisted in Drummoyne, NSW He doesn't seem to be in the Commemorative Roll, nor the Red Cross missing list. It looks like you'd better concentrate on getting the National Archives to cough up his army papers. :-) Do a Google search on Lone Pine or 3rd Battalion, and you'll probably come up with a myriad of commemorative sites where Andrew may be mentioned.
