223493 2nd Lt. Richard Jordan Collard Australian Imperial Forces 10th Australian Machine Gun Coy from:184 Hyde St Yarraville, Victoria My Grandfather Richard Collard died before I was born, so we only have his war records to go by. He joined the Army in 1916 leaving a wife and 2 little girls. He made sure that his wife and family were looked after by his family. Richard moved up the ranks very quickly as he enlisted as a matured person at the age of 26. His service was terminated on the 30th of Jun 1919. However as an officer his termination from the army was not. On the 20th of April 1922 Richard was promoted to Captain then Major on the 31st of December 1922. This is only going what I understand reading his army records.
