I am getting confused by all this. First I though yes this is it but then what is it with the dates of the inquest? When you work out the ages on his war records and his marriage he would have been born 1895 and 31 in this Sydney was 36 and certainly not same parents. It doesn't look like his parents came to Australia as they were in England when he was in the army So much as I want it to be him I don't think it is Good work though Helen has a younger brother who is away at the moment. I think I will send her of what I have and see what she says. Maybe she can quiz, Lornas family, she also said maybe her step brother des might know something.

Kaneira is north of Wycheproof so I think this is the Sydney Brown mentioned in the articles. It would also tie in with the letter written by his daughter daughter, Lorna. Digger - Death Index.
