3196 Francis John Ludbrook, AIF

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone can find information on this man, even photos. I recall there are 2 faded photos of him, but alas. He was at Gallipoli, and recall he ended up 6th or 12th field ambulance. Also recall brother had sequential service numbers, and won the MSM, promotion to Warrant Officer and became a parliamentary. If you find anything on him, that'd be nice.

The service record for 3196 Francis John Ludbrook. His father was William Wilmot Ludbrook. - https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ViewImage.aspx?B=8205805

3197 was Herbert Charles Ludbrook.  His father is named as George Henry Ludbrook, of 8 Peel Street - https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ViewImage.aspx?B=8205807

Herbert Charles Ludbrook, son of George Henry Ludbrook - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Ludbrook 

7985 was Joseph George Ludbrook, also son of George Ludbrook, of 8 Peel Street - https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ViewImage.aspx?B=8205809

 

I believe that 3196 and 3197 were first cousins.

Hi, for your future posts could you please post what information you already have?  A number of forum members have researched and posted links, thinking you may not be aware of all the AIF resources.  For a few of these topics you've come back with something like:

Indeed, we've all made a rookie mistake or something along those lines.

Questions concerning 13th Field Ambulance
What was the size of the unit? Usually Company sized? Platoon sized? Battalion sized?

Also, did different Sections go to aid different Battalions, I.E 'A' Section is a Ambulance detachment for the 6th Battalion
TTFN!
