The regimental Number is 4351 (not 4531)

This appears to be the 20th Btn, 11th reinforcement.

The only Anderson in the Btn I can see is:

(Corporal) Anderson, Albert Edgar - a farmer from Bearbong, Gilgandra.
NOK- P.J. Anderson (father) of Bearbong Gilgandra

 

edit: Oh that's good news Sue - I thought I must have had the wrong guy, Pleased to see I haven't lost all my marbles just yet

Yes, great news ...

From Albert Edgar ANDERSON's digitised records, he returned to Australia with his wife and child in Nov 1919... He had married in England. 

Fingers crossed there's a link to Joboy's family!

Cheers,  JM

PS, I will re-edit my posts re Henry Edward ANDERSON...

Sorry to butt in on your thread joboy (great photo, by the way   ) - Dee, where did you find out about the project to collect photos of WW1 soldiers?  I have a couple I'd be happy to donate copies of, but just had a look on their website and can't find anything about it...

Cheers

Prue, when I visited the AWM a couple of years ago, the guide on one of the tours explained that they were trying to collect a photograph of every soldier to put with their records.  You'll notice if you search the collections, that some records have a photograph with them. I was also given a pamphlet explaining what they were doing. I'll see if I can find it.

Re Albert Edgar ANDERSON

There's an online tree with his details perhaps Joboy can contact the tree owner as there's a portrait photo of Albert on this link

http://anderson.sacada.net/FamilyTree/individual.php?pid=I113&ged=Anderson.GED&tab=0

Born 6 March 1896, Victoria AUSTRALIA
Married  9 May 1919, in England to Elsie Ivy AMOS
Died 9 April 1968, Norton Fitzwarren, Somerset, England

Fingers crossed,  EDIT TO ADD, there's living descendants for Elsie and Albert ANDERSON noted on that tree.

Cheers,  JM

Will look forward to hearing what results, joboy.   

For Prue.....

Sorry to say I can't find the AWM pamphlet. It's not in any of the places I thought it might be.  I was going to PM this message to you but then I did some research on the AWM site and thought it might be of interest to others if I post this link to the page I found.......

Added: I did get it a bit wrong.....photos are being collected for those on the Roll of Honour, not all who served.
