Biography contributed by Chris Buckley

One of four brothers and numerous cousins to serve in WWII, Private Roy Ernest Leslie Brine (Service Nos:S40581/SX27374) elisted in the ACMF on 16 December 1941, and was a Gunner attached to 26th Anti Aircraft Battery on 11 December 1942 when he enlisted 'in the field' in the AIF. Private Brine was attached to 26th Anti Aircraft Battery at Discharge on 1 December 1943.

Born in Adelaide, South Australia in 1923, Roy was sixth of seven children of Thomas Alfred Brine (b1888 in Napperby, South Australia) and Edith (Edie) May Kempster (b1888 in Kadina, South Australia). Thomas (a Labourer) and Edie (a Domestic Servant with an infant son) married in 1910 in Thebarton in Adelaide. The family lived in Prospect and Adelaide, where Thomas worked as a Labourer, Motor Driver, Factory Worker and Bag Dealer until his death in 1940.

Roy started work as a Shop Assistant, and in 1941 was a Salesman when he enlisted in the Army. Following his Discharge, Roy lived in Melbourne, Victoria where he was a Salesman before settling in Adelaide. Roy died in 1988.
