TRENCH ART, Jamaica half penny (same reverse design used from 1902 to 1928), with obverse shaved smooth and impressed, 'G.A.Woodrow/March.4.16/1935./R.A.N'. Very good/very fine.
Appears to be 1935 George Laurie (note the coin has initial A) Woodrow, bank clerk, born at Gympie, Qld; Enl.26Aug1915 at Brisbane, Qld, with previous service in ALH; Emb.03Jan1916 with 13Rfts 5LHR; TOS 5LHR 04Mar1916 (the date on the trench art coin); 30Dec1916 to hospital for VD, total period 94 days; TOS 18MGBn 14Nov1918; RTA 21May1919; Disch.13Jul1919.
The R.A.N. on the coin is confusing because there was a George Arthur David Woodrow who served in the RAN. He enlisted 19 May 1934 but the number and date on the coin have no connection with him. He also does not appear to be related to G.L.Woodrow.
