Add my storyBiography contributed by Jacquie Liddiard
Job stated on his Attestation Paper that he had spent six years in the West Sussex Yeomanry prior to enlisting.
His records state that he suffered from sand fly fever and malaria during his service.
Family have looked for but not located any emigration record to place him in Western Australia between the census 1901 UK and Australian electoral roll 1912. There is an Electoral roll record that places him in Claremont, Western Australia as a 'Chauffeur' in 1912, which is consistent with the occupation of 'motor mechanic' shown on his attestation papers. There are several electoral roll records for Edwards Creek, Maree, South Australia working as a 'linesman' for 1939, 1941 and for Quorn as a 'trainer'. These are consistent with a epatriation reference 'Transferred to South Australia" and the subsequent burial record in SA. Throughout, there is no evidence he was ever married.
