Hello Keith
Many thanks for all your information and your extra effort!
"E Manktelow" is "Edith" my gran's mother. They had a very "interesting" family dynamic....
My gran was rather prone to a bit of story-telling and my poor late father had some fun and games with trying to sort things out when she passed away!
This doesn't really take away anything from the contribution and sacrifice that the Manktelow men made. Albert was killed in 1917.
From what you say, the photo may be of either member who served in the AAMC and, although it has been carefully "filed", i.e. misplaced, this doesn't look like William so must be the other AAMC man.
I have found a group photo of an AAMC unit (on National Archives Australia, I think) that shows William so the search continues!
