Blinco George Loadman, Private, QX53009 (Q128518), AASC Companies

Synopsis

George and his brother Andrew both joined the AASC in the 2nd Division a Militia which was banned for overseas service and in fact went on to be designated for the defence of Australia. As a consequence of this we have the unusual situation where both brothers enlisted a second time in New Guinea. Whele we have George’s service records we do not for Andrew. The profiles then are factual for George and speculative for Andrew.
