     Milton was born on 30 May 1927.

     George Frost was born on 18 October 1891.
In actual fact George's age and birthdate are hard to determine.

The Vardy family history suggests that he was killed at 19 years age (in 1916). This estimates his Birth date as about 1897. This is, however, from a source furthest removed from George himself.

Elsie stated in an interview that he was aged between she and Roy. This estimates his birthday as between 14 Jan 1894 and 3 Nov 1896. Elsie gave me this interview in the 1980's and she was very vague about the subject. She also stated that George joined the Army when he was 18.

His Army enrolment papers say that he enlisted at 23 years and 9 months on 21 Jul 1915. This is George's own information and declaration.

If we take the Vardy version as correct, George would have been 18 at the time of his Army Induction. There would have been no reason to lie about his age (assuming 18 was a legal enlistment age). If he had to lie about his age, why test the truth and choose nearly 24 when 19 would have been sufficient.

George had been adopted by the Hull's and presumably went with their blessing. It was a career path he had chosen before. He had been previously rejected "as unfit for His Majesty's Services" because of his teeth.

I therefore tend to take George at his word, assuming that the details he believed to be true were true. This makes his birthday about June 1891.

There is also an entry in a "Birthday Book" that belonged to Sarah Vardy which gives his birthday as 18 October but no year.

It is especially hard to determine as there is no definative entry in the Victorian Birth Indexes gives us a lead. George's birth parents are unknown.
George was aged between Roy and Elsie.
George's father was a railway worker who lived at the railway siding in Welshpool at the time the Hulls lived there. This would have been from approximately 1896 to 1914. George lived with his father however was great friends with Roy and Elsie and spent more time there than at his own home.
He used to chop wood at the wood heap at the Hull's but unfortunately one day severely cut his foot on the sole with the axe.
George's dad was moved just after George cut his foot. His dad came to see Elsie's mum and asked if George could stay until he "settled".
He was never heard of again.
Eventually he was "adopted" by Tom and Lydia although official and documented adoption was not introduced until about 1923.¹
By family lore, George was known to have followed his adopted brother Roy for a period to Caulfield Grammar School. Early examination of records found Roy howeverfailed to find George. I shall try again as they digitize and computerise their records. He will hopefully be easier to find and his records may given greater insite to his life.¹ He was adopted circa 1908 by Tom and Lydia. His was commonly known as Daido. He lived at Broadway, Bungeeluke North, Wycheproof, Victoria. This address is taken from his AIF enlistment papers.
As an aside point of interest, the native name Bungeeluke was spelt a few different ways. However in the Sea Lake and Birriwillock Advertiser of Sat 6 Feb 1915 the Electoral Commission Commissioner of Australia declared that the correct spelling was Bunguluke.. He was inducted into the Australian Imperial Forces on 21 July 1915 at Albert Park, Melbourne. George was inducted in the 12th Reinforcements of the 8th Infantry Battalion AIF. He lists on his Attestation Paper that prior to joining he had been a member of the Weshpool Rifle Club for two years. Not obviously just before enlisting as home was listed as Wycheproof but we may find some record of his achievements here with time.
It is awful to reflect that from this day George would only be alive for one year and five days.

8th Battalion
The 8th Battalion was among the first infantry units raised for the AIF during the First World War. Like the 5th, 6th and 7th Battalions, it was recruited from Victoria and, together with these battalions, formed the 2nd Brigade.
The battalion was raised from rural Victoria by Lieutenant Colonel William Bolton within a fortnight of the declaration of war in August 1914 and embarked just two months later. After a brief stop in Albany, Western Australia, the battalion proceeded to Egypt, arriving on 2 December. It later took part in the ANZAC landing on 25 April 1915, as part of the second wave. Ten days after the landing, the 2nd Brigade was transferred from ANZAC to Cape Helles to help in the attack on the village of Krithia. The attack captured little ground but cost the brigade almost a third of its strength. The Victorian battalions returned to ANZAC to help defend the beachhead, and in August the 2nd Brigade fought at the battle of Lone Pine. The battalion served at ANZAC until the evacuation in December.
After the withdrawal from Gallipoli, the battalion returned to Egypt. In March 1916, it sailed for France and the Western Front. From then until 1918 the battalion was heavily involved in operations against the German Army. The battalion’s first major action in France was at Pozières in the Somme valley in July 1916. Private Thomas Cooke, one of 81 members of the battalion killed at Pozières, earned a posthumous Victoria Cross during the action. After Pozières, the battalion fought at Ypres, in Flanders, returning to the Somme for winter. In 1917, the battalion participated in the operations that followed-up the German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line, and then returned to Belgium to join the great offensive launched to the east of Ypres.
In March and April 1918 helped to stop the German spring offensive. The battalion subsequently participated in the allies’ own offensive, launched near Amiens on 8 August 1918. The advance by British and empire troops was the greatest success in a single day on the Western Front, one that German General Erich Ludendorff described as, “the black day of the German Army in this war”. For his actions on this day, Lieutenant William Joynt was awarded a Victoria Cross. The next day, Private Robert Beatham also earned a Victoria Cross by rushing four separate machine guns. He was killed in action two days later.
The battalion continued operations to late September 1918. At 11 am on 11 November 1918, the guns fell silent. The November armistice was followed by the peace treaty of Versailles signed on 28 June 1919.
In November 1918 members of the AIF began to return to Australia for demobilisation and discharge. In April, the battalion was so reduced that it and the 5th Battalion were amalgamated to form a composite battalion. In turn, this battalion was amalgamated with another, formed from the 6th and 7th Battalions, to form the 2nd Brigade Battalion.
. George was described as 5 feet, 4 inches (1.63m) and 126 pounds (57.15Kg) and age 23 at the time of his induction. George was killed in action in WWI on 26 July 1916 at "In the Field" at Pozieres, France, 24. George was with the 8th Battalion A.I.F. when killed. His death was finally recorded from a Station at Rouen.. His body was interred at France . The final entry in George's Statement of Service states:

"Buried in the Vicinity of Pozieres, N of Albert & Bapaume Road".

His final resting place has never been found..

     Mabel was born Victorias BDM records her Birth place as St Kilda but can be wrong a they are only the recolections of the informant. This just need checking. in November 1884 at Kew, Melbourne, Victoria.^1,2

     Hazel Mann was born circa 1904.¹
She married Arthur Ernest Vardy in 1947. On the 5th Jan 1981 Hazel was admitted to hospital. In a letter to Elsie Clark, Phyl Vardy noted:"She is a pitiful case - her mind went, but after weeksin a semi comatose condition she knows us and answers quetions, but is very vague and cannot carry on a conversation. She forgets that she was married and remembers Muriel only in flashes".
Hazel died on 11 January 1982 at age at an unknown age .

Walter Edward Vardy married Phyllis Ethel Gorell M.B.E., daughter of Robert Leslie Atkinson Gorell and Ethel Julia Henry, in 1940 at Geelong, Victoria.^3,2 Walter Edward Vardy lived on 11 April 1981 at "Avalon", 39 Thompson Street, Maffra, Victoria.

     Harriet was born at Elgin Street on 22 June 1873 at Sale, Victoria. As of 1904,her married name was Royal.
Harriet Eliza Carter married James Royal in 1904 at Sale, Victoria.¹ Harriet appeared on the Australian electoral roll of 1909 and listed as living at "The Plains", Sale, Victoria. Harriet had a listed occupation of home duties This is in a second roll published in this year and "The Plains" may well be the house name in Marley Street.. Harriet appeared on the Australian electoral roll of 1909 and listed as living at Marley Street, Sale, Victoria. Harriet had a listed occupation of home duties.
Harriet Eliza Carter died in 1960 at Bairnsdale, Victoria. She was 86 at the time.²

     William was born at Elgin Street on 8 August 1875 at Sale, Victoria.
He married Hart Pendlebury in 1900 at Victoria.¹ William appeared on the Australian electoral roll of 1909 and listed as living at Sale, Victoria. William had a listed occupation of farmer.

     Charles was born in 1878 at Sale, Victoria.
He married Helen Saville in 1900.
Charles George Carter died in 1959 at Park?, Victoria.¹

     Allan was born at Elgin Street on 4 December 1880 at Sale, Victoria.
Allan Frederick Carter married Grace Frances Connell in 1907 at Sale, Victoria.¹

     Maud was born at Elgin Street on 18 November 1883 at Sale, Victoria. Maud appeared on the Australian electoral roll of 1909 and listed as living at Sale, Victoria. Maud had a listed occupation of tailoress. As of 1911,her married name was Sayer.
Maud Mary Carter married Daniel Sayer in 1911. I am not terribly happy with this reseach match as it is listed under "Mary Maude" which is the wrong way around and Maude now has an "e" on it. Also Maud would be about 28, which is old for a first marriage. Must get the Certificate one day to check. Charles Carter died in the home of his daughter Maud Mary Sayer on 28 November 1917 at Fitzroy Street, Sale, Victoria; chronic heart disease.^1,2 Maud Mary Carter was also known as Maude.

     Roy was born on 14 January 1894 at Alberton, Victoria.¹ He was a student at Caulfield Grammar School, Caulfield, Victoria, enrolling on 12 September 1908. Roy remained there until he left in December 1909. Looking at his record book he would have started in fourth term 1908 in year IVa with G.H. Easton as Form Master. His registration at Caulfield was 1144 and their records show that Roy turned 14 on 14 January 1908.
Roy appeared not to be the most scholarly of students coming in at regular 18th out of 20 students in his class. Roy was marked for Writing, Homework, Reading, Dictation and Spelling, English Grammar & Composition, Geography, History, Arithmetic, Mental Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Bookkeeping, Bible, Science and Physiology. With such low marks it is unlikely that he would have sat the public examinations.
It is reputed that he went home (Welshpool) and that George (Frost) followed in his footsteps but I am unable to find any record of him attending.².
He married Jessie May Taylor on 19 June 1918 at the Presbyterian Church, Wycheproof, Victoria. Jessie was a Wycheproof girl through and through having been born there. At the time of her marriage she was employed as a Dressmaker.
The marriage was recorded in The Argus on Saturday 20 Jul 1918: "HULL—TAYLOR.—On the 19th June, at the Presbyterian Church, Wycheproof, by the Rev. W.W.Watts, Roy William son of Mr and Mrs T. Hull, Wycheproof, to Jessie May, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Taylor, "Raywood", Wycheproof.". The Australian electoral roll of 1921 has Roy and Jessie listed as living at Stud Road, Dandenong, Victoria. Roy had a listed occupation of Farmer and she of home duties. He lived in 1928 at 23 Wanda Road, Caulfield, Victoria.³ He and Jessie May Taylor were eventually divorced on 24 April 1929 at Victoria . Roy was the Petitioner and Jessie the Respondent. It is listed in the Indexes at the Public Records Office Victoria as Suite 493 of 1928.
The Decree Nisi was granted on 24th Apr 1929 after the judge found in Jessies favour. The Decree Nisi was made Absolute on 25th Jul 1929. From references made in their divorce documents it appears that Jessie was in Adelaide at the time.
This needs further investigation. Roy was employed, at Melbourne, Victoria. He was a Tramdriver.. Roy appeared on the Australian electoral roll of 1936 and listed as living at 23 Wanda Road, Caulfield, Victoria. Roy had a listed occupation of tramway employee. Roy appeared on the Australian electoral roll of 1939 and listed as living at 23 Wanda Road, Caulfield, Victoria. Roy had a listed occupation of tram employee Only he and and his mother, Lydia, were listed as living here.. He left a will dated on 19 August 1942 whilst living at 23 Wanda Road, Caulfield, Victoria.
"SUBJECT to the payment of all my just debts funeral and testamentary expenses I GIVE DEVISE AND BEQUEATH all my real and personal estate whatsoever and wheresoever situate to my said mother absolutely.⁴


Roy died on 17 April 1943 at Alfred Hospital, Commercial Road, Prahran, Victoria, at age 49. His sudden death was due to a Cerebral Haemorrage complicated by Arteriosclerosis.
He had no known children.^5,6 At the time of his death Roy is reported as normally living at at 23 Wanda Road, Caulfield, Victoria.⁶ He was buried on 19 April 1943 at Springvale Botanical Cemetery, Melbourne. His last resting place is listed as: Joshua Jordan Lawn, Row AE, Grave 40. His obituary reads as: OBITUARY: The sudden death of Roy ("Trimmer") Hull on April 17, is announced with extreme regret. Word of this tragic happening carne as a sudden shock to all at this Depot where he has worked for almost 20 years. The deceased Comrade had performed his work as usual that day and expired at his home in Caulfield later in the clay. The internment took place at Springvale Cemetery on Monday, April 19. Many of his former workmates gathered outside the Depot to pay their last respects their deceased Comrade, and there was a good representation at they graveside. Roy Hull was a popular figure here. Always genial and friendly, he had won a wide circle of friends, and will be sadly missed. To all sorrowing relatives we tender our deepest sympathy.     

The Tramway Record; May 13, 1943; p 19.
His estate was probated on 17 June 1943 at Supreme Court of Victoria, Probate Jurisdiction. "THIS COURT DOTH ORDER that Probate of the said Will be granted to Lydia Hull [his mother] of 23 Wanda Road Caulfield in the said State Widow the Executrix named in the said Will."
The Probate papers show that he left no real estate in Victoria but left personal property to the value of Seven Hundred and eighty nine pounds twelve shillings and ten pence. This consisted of a Chevrolet Sedan [1936 Model] valued at 120 pounds; Wages of 13 Pounds 11 shillings and six pence; money in hand of 10 shillings; and Money in in the State Savings Bank and the Commonwealth Savings Bank of 655 Pounds 11 Shillings and 4 Pence.

An interesting portion of his Probate states "This Grant is made upon the condition that no portion of the assets shall be distributed or paid during the War to any beneficiary or creditor who is an enemy subject wherever resident or to any one on his behalf or to or on behalf of any person resident in any enemy country or territory or in any country or territory in the occupation of the enemy of whatever nationality without the express sanction of the Crown, obtained through the Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Australia, and if any distribution or payment is made contrary to this condition this Grant will be forthwith revoked".
Was this common or even obligatory during the War or was this of his own volition.
