From serching the historical birth records of Queensland's Births, Deaths and Marriages, I discovered that 209 Private D'Orient Richardson was born Willie D'Orient Richardson, which confirms with his memorial plaque at Mt. Thompson Memorial Gardens.
The two enlisted children of Edney Richardson and Nellie Sarah (née Wiles) Richardson of Goodna, Queensland:-
209 Pte. D'Orient Richardson - returned to Australia;
3432 Dvr. Aubrey Richardson (/explore/people/275632) - returned to Australia.
