We found Thomas William Forrest, 9th Light Horse Infantry, 22nd Reinforcement, on Embarkation Roll number 10/14/5. We discovered Thomas William 'by accident' whilst researching our ancestors, the Hawkes family from England who had assisted passage to Adelaide in 1853. The Hawkes family married into the Forrest family. We do know he was the son of Thomas and Margaret Forrest. His brother Private James Charles Forrest was in the 27th Battalion Unit, 14th Reinforcement. Embarkation Roll Number 23/44/4. He Returned to Australia 15th May 1919.
