melliget Posted 8 January , 2015 Share Posted 8 January , 2015 A belated well done to all involved. RIP. As a matter of interest, who found Major Hugh Hunt? I had him on my "In Process" list but had yet to purchase the death certificate. I recall seeing a story on the ABC last year about some people researching war graves in, I think, Cornelian Bay Cemetery (Hobart), so perhaps they found him. Major Hunt was DAAG and QMG of Tasmania (same for West Australia prior to that). Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
