Hi Mari, I would suggest doing a Google search for the "Battye Library", which is the Australiana section of the WA State Library, and search their online catalogue. In addition to that, look at the Australian War Memorial website and the National Archives of Australia website - put your great uncle's name in the various search engines, and see what you come up with. You'll find all these websites using Google.
