Biography contributed by Steve Larkins
Harold Lear Frankland had three WW1 'identities' which appear to be clerical issues, and multiple entries on the WW1 Embarkation Rolls. It has been determined that the three identities are the one man because of commonalities - address NoK occupation and age (DoB was rarely recorded for WW1 enlistment).
He was a 23 yo electrician living in SOuth Yarra, Melbourne on enlistment on 19 August 1915. He is recorded on various Embarkation Rolls as follows:
