Alan, Shouldn’t you have been looking in WW1? Go the National Archives http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/search/index.aspx <http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/search/index.aspx> Click on Record Search Click on Name Search Type in Rogers, choose WW1 records (unless you really do mean WW2) Search Refine this search result Type in Charles John, and you should see 4 names, only one Charles John. You can see his file, which says he was 25, so perhaps he’s not yours, born in 1881. OR, another way to search: From http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/search/index.aspx <http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/search/index.aspx>, type Charles John Rogers into "Search the collection” in the top right hand corner, and you’ll get a whole set of different results. The first one might be yours, and it’s WW2, civil construction corps. If this one is what you’re after, you can send an email request for a copy of the file at “Ask a question” at http://www.naa.gov.au/ <http://www.naa.gov.au/>. I hope this helps - don’t tear out your hair whatever happens! … there’s always the War Memorial site if NAA doesn’t give you what you’re after.
