Hi Ivy,

This morning I have done a number of searches for Kelly SYMMONDS for
Australian WWII records, but can find none. Is it possible that Kelly was a
nickname? There were only three SYMMONDS in the records, but many more
SYMONDS. I have also searched the Victorian Death Index 1921-1985 and the
Wangaratta Cemetery records in case he returned to Victoria, but can find no
mention of him.
