Veteran Story: Willie Cummings (aka Cummins) was born at Stanley Hills, Qld. in 1900. He had been removed from his family in Boonah in 1913 and was living at the Aboriginal Mission at Barambah (now Cherbourg) when he enlisted in June 1916, just 16 years old having mis-stated his age. Cummings was assigned to the 5th General Reinforcements for Egypt and on arrival was allotted to the Australian Army Service Corps, and later to the Anzac Mounted Divisional Train, 32nd Company as a driver. He remained with this unit until they were returned to Australia in September 1919 and soon after married Florrie Don in 1920 who sadly died in 1934. Willie Cummings married Lively Moreton in 1937.
