Thanks Suzanne, Good that you have worked out that he isn't the Booker being looked for. 8-) Regards, Meryl Yost -----Original Message----- From: Suzanne Griffin <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, 31 July 2018 7:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [AUS-Tas] Re: W.

Meryl, that is why I like this list especially. All are extremely helpful and go that bit extra. If not for this list I would still be stuck in the past :-) Cheers Lyn VIC

Oh lordie Meryl.. that is a cureley one, I truly have no icea. I knowo William Booker was in Tassie in 1936 as he is in trouble with thte law at this time, but other than that, he arrived in victoria sometime between 1936 and 1939 when he married Beryl Matthews.That much i know is right, and i know he was in the army as well. Ahhh well keep on poking my nose into other peoples lives I guess..lol Thanks for that idea..

To add to the mix, I found his army record ref https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=6095912&isAv=N and it is an open file with quite a bit of information. Curiously there are 2 attestation forms- one dated 20/2/1942 which gives DOB as 3/6/1917 born Launceston,.married with 2 children. The second one was dated 16/12/1942 with DOB one year earlier ie 3/6/1916, born Launceston, married. He went AWL several times, deserted in Dubbo and was brought before a Court Martial-discharged from the army and apparently sent to prison for 2 years. On one attestation form he admitted to a conviction in South Melbourne, Vic for petty larceny. His court Martial file is closed and there is no Repat file.

Hi Chris I can't explain the varying years of birth, as he was around 25 years of age in either case, so hardly needing to put his age up in order to enlist. Maybe he had been in the habit of giving a year earlier DOB in earlier life and old habits just came to the fore again. Two attestation forms was fairly common where the soldier first enlisted in the AMF or militia, then transferred to the AIF. Was this the case here?

In regard to some differences in the date of birth, I had a neighbour whose age was always a year younger than true.  It must have been from childhood and it was only picked up in his latter years when he had to  get his birth certificate when he applied for a pension!! Many of Booker's life events wouldn't have needed a birth certificate; it is only in more recent years this has become necessary.

Hi Bill, The Attestation forms seem to relate to AIF service, the later being required for a possible mobilization. Like you, I can only note an inconsistent DOB.
