I visited Woden Cemetery this morning
hoping that his headstone would have his Service Number
no luck
The headstone read
Major Hugh Wilson Royal Engineers 29th Division
died 22/6/1956 at aged 64

I find it quite amazing that he has the Regulation Royal Engineers Headstone
yet I cannot find ot his official number
I searched 4,288 files in Australian War Museum to no avail
