Lovell Glendower Tresham



Lovell Glendower Tresham (I have located his existing military records as he ended up in Aust in the AIF 8th Div RAE, taken in the fall of Singapore, Changi, worked on the Burma death railway then torpedoed and killed by US submarine Sealion in 1944; (the Rakuyo Maru incident). He was born: 4 may 1906 GLOUCESTERSHIRE CHELTENHAM as Lovell Glendower Smith.

I'm not sure when or how he came to be in Australia but have located him on the electrol roles from 1930 (wollongoing) and 1936 (north Qld). He married Stella Burton in 1944 (she was born in Thrapston Kettering, Northamptonshire, UK and came to Aust in 1917).
