Add my storyBiography contributed by Carol Foster
Arrived in Australia aged 20 years
Son of Henry James and Esther Mallett Underhill of 10 Val Plaisant, St Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands
In some documents his place of birth was given as Murray Bridge, South Australia this appears to be incorrect as I was unable to find a Richard Underhill born in that state within a 10 years span
Medals: 1914-15 Star, British War Medal, Victory Medal
He was a Locksmith by trade and had also spent his time as a salior
