bullet  General Notes:

Florance enlisted in the Australian Military Forces on 2 February 1942 at Martin Place, Sydney. His service number was NX87034. He was 25 years old, a single farmer born in Narrandera. His mother, Mary Sullivan, was listed as his next of kin, address Mt Crystal, Kamarah which was also recorded as his permanent address. His religion was Roman Catholic. His hair was dark, eyes Grey.

He spent his first year of service in Sydney and Townsville undertaking training before embarking on the Tarooma on the 12 March 1943 for Milne Bay in Papua, where he disembarked two days later. Here he served with the 2/3 Lt AA Battery and the 9 Lt AA Battery, both Artillery units. The environment at Milne Bay was unpleasant and depressing. It rained every day during the construction period and the few roads became impassable to vehicles. Living in rain-soaked tents on muddy ground, the men felt that 'even Hell would be preferable', at least they would be dry. The area was also one of the worst places in the world for malaria, and many men became infected during the first weeks there, though it would take a couple of months before an epidemic broke out.
