I am seeking my fathers family from Tamwoth , NSW, he left them pre WWII, and joined the Aust army. I am trying to contact any members.
His name was Patrick Norman Reilly

Served in WWII as a member of the Australian commando squad in PNG and solomon Islands. His next of kin at the time was his sister
Nellie Reilly.
Married and was the father of 3 children
