    WW2 enlistments suggest he was John Joseph KINGDON, born Port Melbourne 25 May, 1900 and well under age when he enlisted (almost certainly the reason for a false name).

    He had two periods of service in WW2: serving as VX20674, Sergeant, 1st Signalling Corps, locality, Caulfield, NOK Joseph KINGDON, discharged 5 May, 1942. Re-enlisted 20 May, 1942 serving as V186933, Private, 2nd Army Signals, locality Windsor, NOK Katherine KINGDON, discharged 16 June, 1942.
