Biography contributed by Chris Buckley

Younger of the two brothers (William Jack; Service No:175; KiA) who served in WWI, Trooper Selby Ord Linedale (Service No:3423) enlisted in the AIF on 1 March 1917, and was attached to 2nd Light Horse Regiment on 3 September 1917 when he embarked with his Unit from Sydney for Suez on board HMAT A55 Kyarra. Hospitalised in Palestine with Malaria, Trooper Linedale embarked on 29 April 1919 from Port Said for Melbourne on board the Dorset, and was attached to 2nd Light Horse Regiment at Discharge on 9 July 1919.

Selby (aka Nook) was born in Irvinebank, QLD in 1897, youngest of three children of Anthony Theodore Linedale (b1858 in Tenterfield, New South Wales) and Isabella Jack (b1852 in Renfrewshire Scotland) - Isabella immigrated in 1865, arriving in Brisbane on board the Lobelia. Anthony was a Tin and Gold Miner in New South Wales before moving to North QLD in 1880 - Tinaroo, Herberton, Irvinebank. Anthony and Isabella married in 1892 in Irvinebank, where they settled and raised their family and Anthony was engaged in Mining - as Miner, Mine Surveyor and Mine Owner.

Selby (aka Nook) worked as a Bank Clerk in Atherton, and following his Discharge from the Army in 1919, was a Farmer in Atherton. In the mid 1920s he settled in Cairns, and in 1927 married Violet Forbes Bartlett (b1902 in Rockhampton, QLD). Selby and Violet settled in Cairns, where they raised their family and Selby was a Merchant (Jack & Newell, Cairns) and Mercantile Manager until the early 1940s, when ill health forced early retirement to Charters Towers, where he died in 1945. Violet remarried, and died in 1990.
