Enlisted for war service RAAF 1942 and served in the 2 OPERATIONAL TRAINING UNIT.
After the war, Ern bought land & became a grape farmer on land that was close to his parent's farm in Merbein West until retirement. The Bosenberg's lived close by (I think on an adjacent vineyard). Both families were early settlers of Merbein.

About 1970, Ern contracted 'Murray Valley Encephalitis'. In humans it can cause permanent neurological disease or death. Ern survived the disease but never recovered to full health. He passed away 21 April 2003 in Merbein[1]. He is interred in Merbein Cemetery. His wife Gladys survives him (still living, 2022).
