The ww2 record for FRANK KING is digitised at NAA.

His brother GEORGE was Next of Kin. 
He was born in Fitzroy in Dec 1917.

Can you highlight the connection for us?

Long story short....
I knew Leslie Herbert Quigley all my life. He was married to my Mother's sister and it was a 2nd marriage. A grand-daughter of his (from the 1st marriage) contacted me via Ancestry, asking did i know that he had been married previously (YES i did) and what did the name "Frank King" mean to me? It meant nothing until i started investigating....
I came across the attestation papers of Frank King and lo & behold, there was my Uncle Les staring back at me across 70 yrs.......he was unmistakable!
I know that he was dishonourably discharged having repeatedly gone AWOL, and my heart goes out to the gentle, frightened young man that he was.  Even in old age, my Uncle Les was a gentle, compassionate, wise man. I have constantly wondered what the real story is behind this and no matter what i find, he will still be "my Uncle Les".
@ Cando... the private tree on Ancestry is mine, and yes, the photo is from his attestation papers under the name of Frank King.

About the name change. Two of my relatives enlisted under their real names and were subsequently rejected (various reasons) so they re-enlisted under different names and were accepted. Perhaps this is the case here.
