Thank you for reply Seaweed.  Yes, I hope something might come from the main WW2 board but understand it is all some time ago!  Meanwhile, do the dates quoted give any clue as to which ship?  If not, what other information would enable the field to be narrowed?

Again, thank you for all your efforts.

World War Two / 1st Bn Royal Fusiliers 1939 -1943

Has anyone researched the battalion from 1936 (stationed in India) to 1943?  Very interested in time in India from 1936 to when they embarked Bombay to Egypt in 1939.  Then movements during WW2
until end of 1943 when they were sent to Italy.  Would be so grateful for any info or hints.

This looks interesting.  Have you any details of a troopship carrying 1st Royal Fusiliers from Bombay (I think) to Egypt. Believe embarcation Sept 23rd 1939, arrival Egypt about October 3rd?

Many thanks

Thank you Cando.  This looks very promising.  Occupation of painter could be correct due to earlier employment.  I also take your point about possible lack of info by any informant - I had taken that into account in searches.  The electoral roll info is intriguing and I would like to investigate further. I am currently unable to access Australian info from England. Is there a means of sending me a copy?  Again so many thanks for your interest and help.
