History

It is belived Ernest Vincent Alford is on the Honour Board but as E B Alford which likely was delivered verbally as E V and misheard, for he is Ernest Vincent. He was at 187 Duke on first enlistment in 1916 but was then discharged at his own request back to the Fremantle Garrison Artillery for home service. He then married in 1917 and moved a few houses down the road, to 192 Duke Street, before enlisting again in late-1917 and serving overseas with the Artillery.
