The News paper items I attributed to Lionel John Alexander COLE were to the incorrect Lionel COLE – so those articles, which were here, have now been withdrawn and attributed to Lionel COLE who was Stationed at Capertee & Cullen Bullen and whom Retired H.O.D. c1959.

Those incorrect attributes were picked up by Gordon Weaver, NSWPF # 8167 for me.

* Story behind any Nickname:

Nothing further, than what is recorded above, is known about this person at the time of publication and further information and photos would be appreciated.
