  Notes	AIF records record that William James Loan PIPER was known in the AIF as William James Joseph PIPER. It is also possible that he was fathered by an unknown man and is therefore totally unrelated to John Charles PIPER. He is included in this database because he was decorated soldier from WWI and it is possible that John Charles PIPER was in fact his father.
