Yes, William Eric Buckley was a Private. But William George Buckley also served and he was, in fact, promoted to Sergeant during his service.

I assume the comment about him being a private in WWII refers to the William Eric Buckley who had been wrongly identified.

Further to Brian's information, it appears the wrong person has been identified for William Buckley. His correct details are:
- Born: 3 January 1907 in Petersham NSW
- Died: 17 April 1973
- Full name: William George Buckley

Alan Whiticker erroneously states that Bill was born in Queanbeyan, which is what some newspapers appear to have reported following Bill's death.
