Private Cecil Paull (Service Nos:QX500112/QX366553/Q42382/Q11869) first enlisted in the Army on 4 March 1941. Private Paull served with the Militia and ACMF, and served with 19th Field Ambulance in New Guinea (14 March 1941 - 23 June 1941). Private Paull transferred 'in the field' to the AIF and served with 19th Field Ambulance and 31st Infantry Battalion. His final service was from 5 March 1946 to 29 April 1947 with Western Command Recruit Reception and General Details Depot (RR & GDD).
Born in 1918 at Torrens Creek via Hughenden QLD, Cecil was fourth of eleven children of Victor George Frederick Paull (b1880 in Charters Towers, QLD) and Gladys Marion Bennett (b1894 at Torrens Creek via Hughenden, QLD). Victor (a Labourer) and Gladys married in 1912 at Torrens Creek where they lived and raised their family until the 1920s. Victor worked as a Miner, Labourer and Rabit Catcher in Charters Towers, Torrens Creek, Ingham and Mackay. Victor left Gladys and his children in the 1930s and was frequently before the Court for maintenance arrears - the youngest children spent time in orphanages.
Cecil worked in Townsville and Mackay as a Labourer, and in 1939 in Townsville, QLD married Phyllis May Dyer (b1921 in Townsville, QLD). During his Service Cecil and Phyllis divorced and Phyllis remarried. Cecil worked in Rockhampton and Mackay as a Labourer, and was in Mackay when he died in 2009.
