Notes:

Birth:
The date of birth on the AIF enlistment document of John Leake STRICKLAND (1922-1997) is clearly stated as being 9 Feb 1920. He therefore put his age up by two years for the purpose of enlistment. His parents married on 16 Feb 1921, so the arrival of a son about 12 months later makes reasonable sense.

Promoted to Acting Sgt. prior to attending and graduating from a Potential Officers Course at Duntroon, ACT. Appointed a Lieutenant on 4 Mar 1941.
