Biography

"MILLICENT MAN MISSING.

MILLICENT, July 1.- Mr. and Mrs. John Redford, of Mount McIntyre, were notified by the Defence Department on Tuesday that their son, Lce.-Cpl. J. R. ("Alan") Redford had been reported missing. Lce.-Cpl. Redford went from Sydney with the 1st Expeditionary Force, and was promoted in Egypt. He is a promising young soldier, and while in Egypt forwarded to his parents many long and remarkably well written letters describing life and scenes in and around Cairo. He was one of the first batch of Millicent volunteers, every one of whom has now been reported either killed, missing, or wounded." - from the Adelaide Register 03 Jul 1915 (nla.gov.au)
