Biography contributed by Linda Vincent

Alfred enlisted on 7th September, 1914, landed in Gallipoli on 25th April, went to Lone Pine, France and Cairo. He was injured and went to England where he met my grandmother. Came back to Australia in 1918 then transferred to the special forces returning German Prisoners of War to Germany. He then went back to England and drove his commanding officer crazy until he was given permission to marry my Grandmother Gladys Crowe in Kings Heath before he brought her back to Australia.
