  • Notes  Married:
    • There is some doubt about this date because it seems that they were married before he left for war service in Egypt - otherwise it could have been after his time in Egypt - he might have come home for some leave before starting at New Guinea, or on leave during his time at New Guinea.

    Divorced:
    • Peggy and John might have divorced - date not known. [1]
