WW1
WHAMOND, Frederick Charles
When Frederick Charles Whamond enlisted on 24 June 1915 he claimed that he was 18 years of age and born in Windsor, Victoria. In fact he was born at South Yarra on 10 July 1900 and was only 15. This unfortunately was just the beginning of a career of deceit. His mother possibly thought the army might do him good as she signed her agreement to his enlistment.
