Biography contributed by Chris Buckley

Stoker David Ruebin Perrett (Service No:W3003) initially served in the Militia (Private; Service No:314474) with 57/60 Battalion (11 August 1936 to 26 October 1938). Private Perrott then served in the ACMF (Private; Service No:V77563) with 3rd Ordnance Store AAOC (20 August 1940 to 5 January 1941), before enlisting in the RAN on 5 February 1941. Stoker Perrott served with HMAS Lonsdale, Hobart and Penguin, and was attached to HMAS Rushcutter at Discharge on 9 January 1943.

David was born in Melbourne, Victoria in 1917, eldest of four children of Reuben Perrott (b1888 at Snapper Point, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria) and Linda Emma Lydia Higgins (b1895 in Melbourne, Victoria). Reuben (a Butcher) and Linda married in 1916 in Melbourne, and lived in Hastings via Frankston where they raised their family and Reuben was a Butcher and Labourer - the family lived in Hastings and Northcote until the mid 1930s, when they settled in Melbourne and Reuben worked as a Builder's Labourer.

David worked in Melbourne as a Tannery Labourer and Biscuit Maker and, following his final Discharge, was a Stock Inspector and Field Offier at the Research Farm in Werribee. In 1948 in Caboolture QLD, David married Helena (Rose) Niven (b1930 in Babinda, QLD). David and Rose settled in the Glasshouse Mountains via Caboolture, where they raised their family and David worked as a Labourer. They were divorced in the early 1960s - Rose remarried - and David died in 1974.
