HE DID NOT MIGRATE TO AUSTRALIA. It was his son, the late Walter, who came to Australia, and who had been an early member of the said Round Table. Walter's claims about his father's service have never been confirmed, and may or may not be true. It would seem that there are those who would make assumption without knowing the facts, and who would prefer to spread such assumptions all over cyberspace, instead of taking the trouble to research further. Many of these assumptions and fabrications seem to emanate from one particular source, and shows the utter lack of any research capabilities.
