Biography contributed by Claude McKelvey
When George May 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. A. Fraser, Toowoomba. The original nominal roll for the 6th QIB, held by National Archives Australia, indicates his N.O.K. was his sister Mrs. A. Fraser, Toowoomba.
