[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 645711, member: 4728"] Having a look through on line Australian war records, I found a reference to a Masotto having served as follows. Note he enlisted 12 days after he turned 18. Enlisting in that late stage of the war it is possible that he was put to work as staff in a convalescent depot. There are multiple entries for the other names but none that I could see had a convalescent depot posting at discharge although many had enlisted in WA.
