Add my storyBiography contributed by Claude McKelvey
When Robert Gardner 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 Mrs. McWilliams, Sandy Bay, Hobart, Tasmania. In the original nominal roll for the 6th Queensland Imperial Bushmen Contingent, held by National Archives, his N.O.K. is recorded as being his sister.
In the Boer War Service Paybooks for the 6th QIB, Bk 2 p. 184, his discharge is recorded as having occurred in South Africa. It is assumed this was to allow him to take up employment there.
