- Queanbeyan Age 19.2.1918 refers to "Cyral J.T.Smith" in the context of Unveiling the ROH at Bungendore a member of the G.U.O.O.This "CJT" Smith is not the "CJE" Smith recorded on the Bungendore Memorial .
- A wildcard search of the NAA Records in respect of Smith J.E.12 ALH SERN 1447 reveals a Repatration Commission letter onfile dated 28.11.1960 in respect of Cyril John Edward. His Attestation Papers indicate that he enlisted in Goulbourn and gave his NOK as John Patrick Reid of Bungendore ,noting that both his parentd were recorded as deceased.Elsewhere in this record he is only described as John Edward Smith however he is considered to be the Digger recorded on the Bungendore Memorial.
