I actually have all these except for CROOKS (33/Capt) - he is new ta.

Arthur Vivian Clark actually married Katherine (Kitty) Elaine JONES (aka SYDNEY-JONES) on the 15/2/1916 - a couple of months before he was killed.  Kitty was an Aussie working with the Red Cross in the hospitals in Egypt - she returned home not long after his death.

 

Many thanks, Frev

Whoops, forgot!  Yes, if your Kiwi Officer was born in Australia I'd still like to add him to the database ta...

Cheers, Frev

Frev,

You may already have this one but thought it worth mentioning.

Temporary Captain Kenneth Pain married Mabel Oclanis Naish on 19th August 1915.

Pain initially served as a private in King Edward’s Horse before being commissioned into the Royal Field Artillery. Have not seen his records- only what is available on Trove and family trees. I’m not researching him but came across him whilst looking at his son who was a RAAF pilot during WW2.

The newspaper notice is attached. Looks like a Victorian connection.

Scott

 

 

[frev]

I do actually have this couple Scott - but thanks for forwarding 

Cheers, Frev

[stevenbecker]

Frev,
