John is called Jack on his Victorian Births, Deaths and Marriages birth extract but John on his death extract.

He 'enlisted' twice - in 1940 and 1942. His 1940 attempt indicates that he was born on 5/4/1917 and his birth place is Hamilton.

In 1942, his birth date is shown as 8/4/1918 [Vic BDM confirms 1918] and his birth place as Yeo.
