Cpl. Francis Elmour King
Australian Imperial Force. C Company 37th Btn.
from:Tarrawingee, Vic
(d.8th June 1917)
I don't know much about Francis King pre-war. All I know is from his war records which I'm still finding. He was not married when he enlisted but he does have a woman, Margaret Ryan of Dubbo, listed in his will leaving half his earnings and life insurance to her. The other half to his father Robert.
Francis has no known grave and so is remembered on the Menin Gate. I do know where he was buried by a grid reference in his war records. I suspect he may be one of the unknown Australian graves at Bethleem East cemetery as it is extremely close to his burial location.
