Thorpe, Roy Ernest

Private Roy Thorpe, Service No. TX2877, according to the nominal roll, was a reinforcement with the 2/12 Battalion. This battalion was in North Africa but was not involved in the Greece campaign. Presumably, Roy, possibly the tallest man in the camp, was transferred to a unit that was sent to Greece. Roy's name was also spelled 'Thorp.' 

Roy was born 17 Feb 1916 at Hobart, TAS. He was killed in a motorcycle accident on 26 February 1952.
