her name was Euphemia Goldie b 1909 Livingstone West Lothian Scot, her married name was Johnstone my last known address for her was
West Wilding St Doubleview W Austrailia i found this address in my mothers old diary they both kept in touch until the nineteen seventies i think.

Clarence died in 1965 memorial at Karrakatta. He was living at Doubleview at the time, which fits with your mothers diary.
