Curiouser and curiouser-
The NAA has these two WW2 records, unfortunately not digitised.
William Henry DOWLING : Service Number - S1684 :
Date of birth - 21 Feb 1922 : Place of birth - ADELAIDE SA :
Place of enlistment - TORRENS HALL SA :
Next of Kin - Nora DOWLING Michael DOWLING : Service Number - NX147032 :
Date of birth - 18 Sep 1902 : Place of birth - MANLY NSW :
Place of enlistment - COWRA NSW :
Next of Kin - Nora DOWLING Michael, I assume, is Nora's brother but one wonders about William Henry who is of an age to be a son of Nora. And his second forename is the same as her father's - which may mean nothing, it's a common name. Of course, the Nora who is listed as his NoK may be another person altogether.
