1. 'Returning to Australia after the Armistice, he was discharged on medical grounds in 1919 and was employed in a variety of jobs before re-enlisting in a militia battalion for service in the Second World War.' - 'Variety' -> 'number' sounds better

1. 'it was here where Corey received the second bar to his Military Medal. Between the 1st and 2nd of September, while subject to heavy machine gun and artillery fire, he continually assisted the wounded with first aid.[8]' - Seems a bit awkward. I would suggest start with a full stop, and put the semi-colon after 'Military Medal'.

   Changed to "It was here where Corey received the second bar to his Military Medal; between 1–2 September, while subject to heavy machine gun and artillery fire, he continually assisted the wounded with first aid.[8]" Abraham, B.S. (talk) 08:58, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

1. 'Following training at Goulburn camp, he embarked for overseas on 4 September aboard HMAT Port Sydney with the 4th Reinforcements for the 55th Battalion' - Does the Battalion have any other name, or was it just a number?

   Just a number. The battalion's of the First Australian Imperial Force were raised throughout the war and demobilised soon after, resulting in them not receiving any other name except the number originally allocated. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 08:58, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

1. 'For seventeen hours, he assisted in carrying the wounded approximately two kilometres back to the dressing station' - Please add a convert template here for the kilometres.

Images are fine, excellent work finding them.

This is an excellent article, and you're to be commended for finding so much information on a relatively obscure soldier. Make these few changes, and I think this'll be a Good Article! Skinny87 (talk) 08:34, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
