Ernest Robert James Blackman [16153] ²

   FamilySearch ID: 9787-XXB.

  Birth Notes:

At Mt Frome.

  Noted events in his life were:

• Alt. Birth, 1894 Jan 11. On his WW record he has a much later birth date. Could be that od one of his relatives. I wonder if he lied to make his age low enough for enlistment or so that they would not find his World War 1 record. He was in for a very short amount of time during WWI and it is not clear as to why he left.

• Military: Service, From 1917 Mar 30 to 1917 Aug. ⁴ Enlisted: 30 Mar 1917
Living: North Rothbury, Branxholme.
Discharged: Aug 1917
