John was a ‘carpenter/builder’ whilst Dorothy was a ‘stenographer’. John was self-employed whilst Dorothy worked for the Commonwealth Reporting Service, typing transcripts from reporter’s notes of High Court cases. John was in the 2/33 Battalion AIF transport section in West Africa, North Africa and England during WW2. John’s mother altered his year of birth to 1919 to allow him to go overseas as such service was restricted to those aged over 21. Dorothy was in the Women’s Army Service in Northern Australia. John served from 1939 to 1944, Dorothy from 1942 to 1947. John enlisted within seven weeks of the declaration of war. Dorothy stayed in the army for almost two years after hostilities ceased. The Fraters lived in High Street Kew before moving to Windsor Crescent Mont Albert in the early 1950s. John built a house in Boronia Grove East Doncaster were they lived from 1963 until 1986. They then moved to Bimbiang Crescent Rye into another house that John built.http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/Items_listing.asp?S=2&F=1&O=0&T=I&C=96
