Hi Judy, I am probably telling you something that you already know, however the National Archives has pretty much finished their project to digitise all WWI military records. www.naa.gov.au search by name and try a date range of 1910 - 1930 which should cut down the responses. Of the 2 I had a quick peek at, Joseph CARNS file is 17 pgs and he survived the war, George TIBBETTS file is 60 pgs and he died of wounds in Belgium I think so its off to http://www.cwgc.org/ the commonwealth war graves commission for him. Interrestingly his military will is on the file and it lists his daughter as beneficiary. anyway I hope this has been useful in some way and all the best in your quest.
