LITTLEJOHN, Charles Henry
Private
Resided Weld Street, Beaconsfield, Tas. Aged 44 years No army records found however some records for those individuals who applied to enlist in the Australian Imperial Force, and were either rejected, discharged while still in training, or went on to serve within Australia only [usually as depot troops or camp guards]. The most common reason for rejection is on medical grounds. Discharges are recorded as occurring for the same reason, as well as unsuitability, and through general demobilisation at the conclusion of hostilities.
