Eric Hunter Disney WHITE Bairnsdale Vic

[Gsj]

Hi

I'm looking for obituary for the above gentleman who passed away in 1964 in possibly Lindenow, close to Bairnsdale, victora. His father was John Frances White and mother Sarah Ellen Jones. Born in 1895.

Eric had at least 2 children and fought in World War 1 with the AIF, joining in 1915 and discharged in 1918.

Any help great fully accepted.

Thanks

Glen
