I have had great success looking for family members using the WWII Nominal roll, with 2 exceptions & hopefully someone may have an answer. I have been searching for 2 uncles both were definitely in the military yet do not appear on the roll. The first Is A.W.D. KERR No. V4245. enlistment date, July 2 1940. Owing to his age, 48 years he was assigned to Area Staff where he remained for the duration. Has anyone any clues as to why he would not appear on the roll? The second is a little different & concerns the status of War Correspondents Uncle No.2 was a journalist for the Melbourne ARGUS Newspaper & I well remember him wearing officer style army uniform. Would anyone know if war correspondents actually enlisted & were subject to military law, or perhaps was it more like a representative role & the uniform was more or less worn as a symbol? Finally, Uncle No.3, who has been found & well researched was a member of the 2nd/22nd. Bn. & a member of Lark Force. When the survivors of the events in Rabaul reached Australia I believe the Battalion was reformed & spent some time at the army camp that was set up in Victoria Park, Ballarat. Several of the men who knew my Uncle visited our home & some signed & made some notes in the back of an old photograph album. I have recently scanned these & the names are__ Yenoch VX47527 Witnish VX28276 Blaby VX38183 Glynn VX24088 Webster VX23821 Cummins VX23861 Judd VX23377 Holmes VX22843 Williams VX23931 Some of these are just signatures but others have comments attached. I would be happy to send the scanned image to any relations of these men. John AHERN
