"Sonny" Wright, Frank's childhood mate enlisted under-age using a borrowed driver's licence and served through WW2 in all theatres and then deployed to Japan as part of the BCOF, where he was accidentally killed in a motor vehicle accident in 1946. He was initially interred under the name C.R. O'Neil - the name of Frank's uncle whose driver's licence Sonny used as ID to enlist. His headstone has since been corrected. He is buried in Yokohama Military Cemetery.

A searchlight crew of the Australian Women's Army Service (AWAS) stands in front of its searchlight as part of a street display during Army Week in support of the Third Liberty Loan, Perth, March 1943. I was desperate to enlist in the army, having learnt Morse Code in anticipation of joining up, but my father refused to sign my papers. After much pleading and threats to join when I was twenty-one, he relented, and in August 1942 his fifth child was serving in the Australian Women's Army Service.
