    There is a problem with the Nominal Roll and Service record information. A person is named twice on Nominal Roll 1 - first as Albert Edward Johnson 9/939 and then as Albert Edward George Johnson 12/570. The Service Record for the man 9/939, father S. Hubbard records he served atTrentham, New Zealand 14 December 1914 until embarkation May 1915. The Service record does not record any details for a man 12/570. AWMM
