Here's my try at it:

24 April Plane Eric F   3 South Mrs  Moore Section 2 Traffield

Wondered if instead of Eric F it said 24 April Plane Eric Jr ......

Is it possible the F or Jr could be /yr indicating the age of six months.

I understand Eric Plane died at the age of six months.

At first I thought it might have been Yr but when I saw the emphatic cross bar at the top I decided that it made more sense as junior.

My opinion about the age is that it would have had the no of months beside it.

On my first couple of looks I thought it was Jr. But then I was thinking  /yr too.

It's just his middle initial, F. There are birth (1906) and death (1907) registrations for him as Eric F. Plane in Albury NSW.
