Notes
The WW2 Nominal Roll also contains an entry for a Private Alan Kirwan Donaldson, born Armadale WA on 4 Mar 1906, living in East Malvern, Victoria at the time of his enlistment. His NOK was his wife Agnes. He enlisted (VX77102 Sergeant) on 3 Mar 1942 and served until his discharge on 21 Feb 1946. Is it the same person, who has lowered his age to gain entry?
