World War I service personnel

Notes on the database:

To this point, I have positively identified 202 members of the group of 230 service personnel as being linked to the Alpha, Jericho and Pine Hill communities. The remaining names, shown in bold, primarily from the Honour Boards, have not been clearly identified.

I welcome details about these personnel; details which will identify the person and show that they were linked to this area of central western Queensland.

SERN:    The SERvice Number is listed to guide you to the correct entry in the major online sources for further information, the Australian War Memorial and the National Archives of Australia.

Birth-Death:    Whenever possible, I have checked the registrations of the births and deaths of enlistees to confirm identities. The Queensland Government registered Australian Imperial Forces deaths (F) which happened overseas during World War I for all service personnel who enlisted in Queensland. As these registrations were dated at 1922, the date of death during the war has been used in these instances.

 Honour Boards:    Three Honour Boards list 152 people, some on two or three of the Boards. The names for Boards were collected some years after the end of the war. As a result the use of initials and spelling of names sometimes varies to those used on enlistment or in genealogical records. For the purposes of this database, I have listed the Boards as:

  •                  A1, located in the Alpha Town Hall since 1957,
  •                  A2, stored in Alpha,
  •                  J1, located in the Jericho Town Hall since 1957.

Variations in initials and spelling found on the boards have been marked in this list with an asterisk. Those whose names are not listed on any Board are shown as xxx.

Key Reference:    Only the primary source has been listed. As well as the various components of the major sources listed above I used many other sources to identify the service personnel including newspapers, many indexes to vital records, electoral rolls, and burial records.
