Hi Val
AWOL-So did my dad lots of times
I hate to think what these young men must of went to and seen in the war no wonder they went AWOL I know some of what my dad had seen as children we heard lots about the war only after he had a few drinks thats the only time he would ever talk about it he would talk and cry about it my poor mum would close the door so we could not hear him
If he changed his surname after the war wouldn't he still have to do it legally???-**Not sure about this I have never looked into my fathers maybe I should -**
Could we find out from BDMs in Victoria?-**They should beable to help you ??-**
Do you know if you can obtain 2nd war service records?
**-Yes you can if your family - you can have them put online or sent to you after you pay for them thats how I got my fathers and uncles**
This is where I send to for my records on my father and uncles http://www.naa.gov.au/
