Notes: Amended WW2NR dob 09/11/1919 - NSW Birth 49039/1921 shows born in 1921, but unable to confirm actual date, although date of research (19/02/2021) coincidently matches findagrave data (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/215421656/john-augustine-coster), but does not accord with age at death as per plaque & headstone. More likely dob is 19/11/1921. Headstone also shows awarded Military Medal, but unable to confirm this through Australian War Memorial Honours & Awards. NSW Birth 49039/1921 as: Coster, John A; WW2NR as: Coster, John; Qld Mge 1943/C/4766 as: Coster, John Augustine Michael; Qld Death 1968/B/95593 as: Coster John Augustine; findagrave as: W.O.2 J. A.
