He refers to his date of birth as 27/1/1899 and his mother as "Dora Lowe" in an application for reissue of his discharge papers.

You may already have all this info.

Edit moved to below next post.

Have you seen his AIF Service Records from WW1. There are 33 pages of records about John William Lowe service No 6610 on the National Australian Archives web site. I have not read all of them but there is mention of his marriage.

This is the address. Now I do not know if it will take you to the correct page or if you need to put in some of the info listed further down this post.

Hi Phillip and hi Choccy as well.

Have you tried the AIF project site. This is the address

It is very interesting to see that under his "Fate" that Maurice was listed as still overseas. This information would have come from his AIF service papers.

Lowe Maurice Wortley 9c 320

I am trying to find the correct name of my paternal grandfather and his father. My grandfather joined the AIF in Sep 1916 from Tasmania under the name of John William LOWE (Service No 6610), he married Gladys Ann BIMSON in Netherton, England in Aug 1919 and they moved back to Tasmania. I have been told that his real name was Maurice Eldred LOWE c. 1898 and he listed his father on his Army enlistment papers as Albert LOWE. Any help would be most appreciated?
