Most of these WW1 servicemen are relatively easy to locate & research on the internet resources of the Australian War Memorial and the Australian National Archives.
However, George Bourke would have been beyond the scope of my resources to track down! Thanks to a lookup in the publication 'Wellington's Finest' - Trevor Munro & Graeme Hosken, I was able to track his info on the Commonwealth War Graves site.

Also help was needed from 'Wellington's Finest' to track down F. Smith. I think the info shows the correct F. Smith - as Reginald Francis Smith was born at Bodangora.

Help also acknowledged from 'Wellington's Finest' for information on the Bodangora connection of Thomas Fredrick Rutter. The book states that he worked in the Bodangora & Wellington Districts.
