Hi Jeff, Thanks your entry at ecperkins.com.au. All Records are now stored in Canberra at the National Archives http://naa.gov.au/collection/family-history/. However, I would start searching at https://www.awm.gov.au/advanced-search/people for people searches. Here's what I found... Horace Leslie Weeks: https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/R2257301 James Weeks: https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/R2257305 See if these matches your records. I hope this makes sense. Chris

Hi Jeff,

Here's what I found...

Horace Leslie Weeks: https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/R2257301
James Weeks: https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/R2257305

See if these matches your records.

I hope this makes sense.
