The Honourable Edward Cornish Poole ? Regimental Sergeant Major? His papers say he was a labourer when he enlisted, he was imprisoned for desertion, and he never rose above the rank of Corporal! Fishy or what? Steve

I would go with his service record and not what the article says.
Remember where the article comes from:
The West Australian (Perth, WA : 1879 - 1954), Friday 13 November 1942, page 1
