William Buckley

[Briankeith]

His fully name was William George Buckley deid 17 April 1973 in Sydney.

[Max Turner]

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.

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

[Max Turner]

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