Biography

To date, nothing of his life has come to light. It appears he was not born in South Australia, although a newspaper article in 1916 reports of three brothers who applied for exemption or temporary exemption from service. Those brothers were Arthur, William and Francis, all of whom were born in Victoria to Mary Gorman and Edwin Brandt. The date of birth for Francis Carl is in keeping with his age at death being 33, however, there is no currently known link between Francis Carl and the deceased as possibly being the same person.

Frank is buried near the homestead at Cordillo Downs Station.
