From Louise Batchelor

Pte Albert William BROOMHALL SERN 2807
 
Albert William Broomhall lived in Latrobe, Tasmania at the time he enlisted on 10 August 1915. He was one of 12 children but I don't believe he married or had any children of his own.  Albert was in the 26th and then the 12th battalion and served in France and Belgium. Albert died on 1 December 1941 as the result of a physical altercation at the Railton pub a day or so before.
