Personal life
[edit]In August 1918, aged 24, Andersen was transferred to Meckering for three months, as a temporary replacement for an officer who was on long service leave.[1] It was there that he met Marie Arthémise Le Nay; two years later they married, in February 1920[2] at Star of the Sea Church, Cottesloe.[1][3] They had four children,[4][5] born between 1920 and 1940.[1][6][a]

Raymond's birth year (1920) can be found from https://www.wa.gov.au/organisation/department-of-justice/online-index-search-tool, but Lynette's (1940[1]) cannot.
