Corrections and Additions for Austin Redvers Cocks

The above was my Dad - He was born March 14th, 1900 and enlisted October 1st, 1915. I have a letter of reference from his school teacher praising his patriotism for joining at such a tender age, such was the mentality at that time. His mother’s name was Admella - named after a ship that came to grief I believe in South Australia - as it’s Ports of Call were ADelaide, MELbourne and LAunceston. the name was derived from the first letters of these ports. I believe somebody in the immediate family were on the ship when it sank.
