Nothing on Ruby; no Eric Norton Smith, but:- Eric Smiths 227 Pte 8 Batn enlisted 15 Mar 1916, RTA 21 Nov 1919 723 Dvr 4thPioneers ENL 10 Aug 1914 RTA 8 Oct 1918 5767 Pte 13 Batn ENL 27 Jan 1916 RTA 22 Sep 1919. You might try http://www.awm.gov.au/database/roh.asp and put the placename of where your McDonald might have enlisted from in the keyword/phrase field. - --------------------------------------------------- Click here for Free Video!! http://www.gohip.com/free_video/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Margaret Middleton <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2000 9:15 AM Subject: Re: World War One enlistments > Hi Ian...
