Narrative

My mother, June Elizabeth Allan, informs me that Derrick had enlisted in the Australian Army with the intent of fighting as an active soldier (using a gun). After enlisting, his medical examination found one of his eyes to have poor vision, and he couldn't become an active soldier as they need good vision to use a weapon. He was to be assigned to an office position instead. Not liking the idea of working in an office at all, he spent most of his time (18 months) AWOL and in prison.
