For Athol Cheetham (1892–1967)

"Name: Athol Cheetham | Age: 22 | Birth Year: abt 1892 | Birth Place: Ipswich, Queensland | Dossier Year Range: 1914-1920 | Enlistment Place: Toowoomba, Queensland | Next of Kin: John Smith"

Independent confirmation of the Queensland birth: he enlisted at Toowoomba giving Ipswich, Queensland as his birthplace and an age consistent with 14 Nov 1892. This is the record that refutes the tree's 'born 1893, England'. Next of kin 'John Smith' is recorded but identifies nobody in the tree — not treated as evidence of a father.
