One of the entries with no regiment nor rank. The RIC reg gives born Australia 1881, which is the age given in ADRIC register ie 39. But I cannot get him in AIF, nor in WO338. Nor can I get the birth in Aus. The above may or may not be him, as only officer on Ancestry cards. The Leave Book has him a "G Austin" which could make him "Guy Austin" in Royal Fusiliers, but I cannot connect him to an Australian birth
