which would certainly ring true given his entitlement and her Battle Honours for Norway 1940, Mediterranean 1940-43, Malta

Ernest Chatterton was born in Surrey, England, on 24 February 1889. Emigrating to Australia, he enlisted into the Australian Imperial
Forces. With reinforcements for the 11th Battalion, he embarked on H.M.A.T. Clan McGillivray at Fremantle on 18 September 1916.
Serving in France, he was reported killed in action at Bullecourt on 16 April 1917. Reports of the time state he was a member of a party
digging a new out-post at Boursies near Cambrai when they were attacked and overrun by a German raiding party. Initial reports speak
of him being killed, though later ones were more hopeful, listing him as being seen marched away as a prisoner-of-war. This was
confirmed in August 1917, when a report was received that he had been captured and was being held at the camp at Limburg an
Lahn . He was then listed as being held in Stuttgart in February 1918. Private Chatterton was repatriated after the war and arrived in
Dover on 19 December 1918. In the Second World War he enlisted at Perth, Western Australia, on 25 June 1941. After service with the
29th Garrison Battalion he was discharged on 30 October 1944. With copied research including several papers relating to his fate
during the Great War.
