Talk:Frederick Bulstrode Lawson Whitlock

Notes

• Leopold Ferdinand von Wieldt The person referred to by D L Serventy, mentioned in this article as L. F. von Wieldt, is presumably Leopold Ferdinand von Wieldt. Notability may be borderline, though Serventy thought to mention him, so I linked it here in case someone decides otherwise. I think he lived in Western Australia at one time, and ended up in Queensland. His wife was Elizabeth[?], they had children and he fought in the Great War. According to a KIA list I saw on Trove, he became ill while serving, and this this source states "Returned to Australia 8 August 1918".

• Whitlock mentions a place NW of Wiluna, "Milly Pool", this is assumed to be an Anglicised synonym for Mooloogool, which is mentioned here on homestead and pastoral lease lists. Yalgar River is nearby.
  • Birds of the Doolgunna and Mooloogool Rangelands, northeast Gascoyne Region, Western Australia

• Citation needed. He travelled to at least one other northern European destination from England, I would say Finland if that was a real country.
