That's the one Suzanne.

He apparently joined up for the Australian army in 1915 and I want to know where he went from there. I have a feeling that he may have stayed in Australia, but he had a family over here. I know he was discharged from the army in 1917, but then have lost track of him, but he is listed in the Australian Electoral Rolls, but I don't know when.

He is the brother of my grandad, but I hope that if I find him in Australia his mother (my great grandmother) may be with him, because she seems to have disappeared!!

If anyone does I wonder if they would do a look up for me please.

Does anyone pay for the Worldwide subscription on Ancestry? I have relatives in America and Australia and wonder if it's worth paying to upgrade.
