Brothers Harry & Murray Turner
If your looking for the details of Australian Defence Force or Merchant Navy personnel who served in World War Two then start with the World War 2 Nominal Roll. You can start with a search for even just a surname, such as Turner, and the alphabetical list of results will include the Name, Service number, Date of Birth, Place of Birth and whether they serviced in the Navy (RAN), Army, Air Force (RAAF) or Merchant Navy. This makes it a great place to locate Birth information for this time and ascertain whether it is your relative listed, although there may be spelling or other errors from the time. A more specific search will produce the following service details for brothers Harry Tanko Turner and Murray Arnold Turner who are pictured above.
