Pte. Roland Carmichael Howden
Australian Imperial Force

My father, Roland Howden embarked with the 14th General (Victorian) Reinforcements from Adelaide, South Australia, on board HMAT A36 Boonah on 22nd of October 1918. He told the story that when they were off the WA coast they had competitions to pass the time and he won the skipping competition. After WW1, he joined the Air Force and served in the reserve. In WW2, he served in the Air Force as a wireless operator sergeant. His service number in WW2 was 314. He was often questioned about how he had such a low number.
