Info: Australian? Allied Unit, 2nd Engineer Officer, William David Cuthill, H.M.A.H.S. Centaur, Australian MN Any information would be appreciated. Need assistance on Who/Where/What/How for this man who is on the Australian Commemorative Roll which is for those "Australians" who died in other Allied Services. If proved not to be "Australian" their names will not be removed from the Commemorative Roll however their details will be updated accordingly. I have researched the Air Force members but there are many more Land and Sea deaths in a myriad of different forces. There is not a lot of information on these people that can be accessed easily and I ask your assistance to fill in at least some of the gaps. Hopefully some relatives may see this thread and add more. I will make a different thread for each along the way as they may tend to get lost if clumped together.

William David Cuthill was my grandfather and was from Scotland (Arbroath, Angus). He served with Blue Funnel Line and was a Merchant seaman. Apparently he was already on survivors leave when he volunteered for H.M.A.H.S. Centaur . My father was just 8 when my granddad was killed on Centaur.

Hi Trisha, Thank you for letting us know some more detail on your grandfather. The more information about his life we can attach, will show a history of the person who gave their life, instead of just a name and date. Cheers Geoff
