Biography contributed by Veronica Munday
I found a tiny photograph of this person in my Grandfather's photo album. It bore the inscription "Your sincerely Lt E Wilmot 4/19". My grandfather Archibald Munday was a driver in the Royal Flying Corps from 1917 to 1919 and so I assume he must have known Lt Wilmot at some time during that period. I have tried to research Lt Wilmot and all I have found out is that he had several different types of job (returning to his birth town) after the war including farmer and post office employee. He married in the 1930s but does not appear to have had any children. I wanted him to be remembered as he must have been a really brave individual and none of the Australian Anzac websites seem to have been aware of his service after 1916 when he joined the AFC or his Military Cross and POW experiences.
