Hello John Yes this is can only be seen in the western reading room some
times the files have very little and some times there is a large amount in
the files just the luck of the draw.
Robert
P.S. the cards That I read to get the DofD from are hard to read and there
is some chance that I read them wrong.

Hi Robert,
Not seen this file before. Is it something you can access only at the
records office near you in Sydney?
The people you list are in different lines and I think these might be the
ones:
