- ^ At the time of his enlistment in the First AIF (24 November 1914) Crowl correctly declared his date of birth to be "13th December" (with no year) and, also, correctly declared his age to be "30 years and 11 months". However, the elistment officer's inaccurate calculation of "1884" was pencilled into the application form; and this explains why some of his military records show his year of birth as 1884 (i.e., due to clerical error, rather than any deception by Crowl).
