In 1943 ER, Mary Elizabeth Dodd was living at 281 Charles Street, no other Dodd at that address.  Similarly in 1949.

Are they meant to have met in Tasmania or Australia, and your grandfather born where?

Index record for WW2 service record for Roy Robert WALTERS
Date of birth 15 Sept 1899 is the same as given in the RAAF record; Next of kin Mary Walters

http://soda.naa.gov.au/record/6586892/1

Looks probable that 'Roy Robert Walters' was an alias used to enlist as he would have been deemed unfit from his WW1 injuries (mentioned in his RAAF record)
