Biography contributed by Peter Nemaric

From the History of The King Edwards Horse (The Kings Oversea Dominions Regiment ) - Lionel James.

"...During 1913 Captain J F M wilkinson, late of the Australian Defence Forces, joined the regiment and was posted to A ( Liverpool) Squadron. This officer joined with considerable eclat on a reputation dating from the Australian Horse in South Africa." (page 59-60)

Offoy, France 1917...

"... The Regiment was much cheered when it ran into Captain Wilkinson, late of A Squadron, who was now a Cptain in the Heavy Artillery, and was billetted for a night at Voyennes. It was interesting to meet, after a fortnight in the open, an ex-brother officer, now a gunner, who had laid claim to be the best swordsman in the British Army." (page 199).
