Fighting Sons of the Empire – Westonia WW2

13/04/2019 By 2 Comments

The following records have been very kindly sourced by Graeme Monaghan, I would like to thank him for all his hard work:-

The following is a list of the men in WW2, who joined up, or were born in Westonia WA. It is not a comprehensive list, as there may be others we have not yet found. As you can imagine, many of the men who joined up to fight for their country from this town would be miners.

Full records may be obtained from the Canberra War Museum:

    Thanks for this work. I think the Tom Snelgar may well be WX14529 who joined up with the 2/14th Battalion (13 Platoon) and saw service in the Middle East and Papua (Kokoda). In the “men of the 2nd/14 Battalion he was listed as having been killed in action on 14 October 1942. Would be happy to be put in contact with Graham Monaghan.
