Veteran Notes/Bio

Before enlisting at Sydney, NSW, Poole was a solictor in Nyngan, NSW. He died while serving with 460 Squadron, as part of the Bomber Command. 

He is commemorated on the Nyngan and District First and Second World Wars Memorial. His name was originally incorrectly listed as C Poole. The family appealed to the NSW RSL in 2006 and had this error corrected on the memorial.
