[QUOTE="MegsyB007, post: 645566, member: 13534"] Hi Hilux! I did something fairly simple to search your names, and put the 3 names in together on a Google search, and it came up with a document called 'Complete Index to Pardey photos - Cowra family history group'. In there I found the following info on the names which was interesting... Pte Alfred E. Masotto - 5th Battalion B Coy A.R.T.B. (Photo image of him April 1945 in Cowra) Alfred was a hairdresser from Geraldton WA. Born in Sicily in Feb 1927. Pte John T. O'Neill - 19th Battalion C Coy Tank Division Depot, Cowra. (Photo image of him in April 1942 in Cowra). John was a labourer at a saw mill from Guyra NSW. Born Oct 1922. Pte William R. Brydon - M.T.T.D (Motor Transport Training Depot) (Photo image of him from June 1943 in Cowra). William was from Dunedoo NSW. Born Sept 1917. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.yumpu.com/it/document/read/3640301/complete-index-to-pardey-photos-cowra-family-history-group[/URL] Co-incidence? They're not exactly common names, and to have the three of them all in the one document was hmm... Not sure how this would help you at all, but the 'Cowra' link might be something for you there.
