When John Condrin enlisted in 1901 in the 6th QIB and his details were published with the rank and file in The Queenslander, 13 Apr 1901, he noted his N.O.K. as Thomas Condrin, Barcaldine.
John Condrin was born on 25 Apr 1874 in Queensland, a son to Thomas Condrin and Sarah Condrin (nee Devlin). In the Boer War Service Paybooks for the 6th QIB, Bk 2 p. 23, it is noted he was discharged in South Africa on 15 May 1902. It is unknown if, or when, he may have returned to Australia.
