    Notes

    Said to be the youngest son of Alexander Robert and Ellen Bates Richardson. However, the birth is not registered in WA BDMs.

    The Commemorative Roll records the names of those Australians who died during or as a result of wars in which Australians served, but who were not serving in the Australian Armed Forces and therefore not eligible for inclusion on the Roll of Honour. It includes those Australians who died while members of Allied Forces, the Merchant Navy, philanthropic organisations attached to the forces, or as war correspondents or photographers.
