Australian Dictionary of Biography 1981.

There is much printed material about Walter.

In a private letter from Mary McCormick to Mildred Whiting dates 3 June 1985 :

"...Walter is very much alive and will be 98 on 29 November 1985 . He remarried at 92 to a woman called Marion Parish. Her maiden name was Gibbs-Jones. They were married in 1980.

She is a very nice person and he would have to be a handful now as he had pbeumonia a couple of years ago and is confined to home.

I don't know what happened to William John Henderson but i think he died in the 14/18 war....."
