John Janus

"John Janus, a seaman, came to Australia in the 1890s and naturalized in South Australia; later he lived in Echuca. By the time of the war he was over forty, but in May 1915 he tried to enlist in the AIF in Echuka. He provided his place of birth as ‘Stettin in Germany’, but it was noted that he was of Russian descent. He was rejected on medical grounds, but a few weeks later he made a new attempt to enlist, this time in Jerilderie in NSW, providing his place of birth as the unidentifiable ‘Burnu’. Finally he was accepted in November 1915, in Narranderra. He served on the Western Front with the 55th Battalion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/55th_Battalion_(Australia) and was wounded twice in the right leg, in March 1918 at Messines and in September 1918 at Perrone. After the war he returned to Narranderra and tragically died in 1927 being crushed by a horse-driven wagon." - http://russiananzacs.net/blog/sundgren-chain-janus-gustafson-pasval... http://russiananzacs.net/upload/1927-09-26Janus.pdf
