Allan Alexander “also recorded as Murdock, Allen A.” Murdoch

Private · NZ #17450

What this roll records

Name amended in August 2026 from “Murdock, Allen A.” to “Murdoch, Allan Alexander”. The Auckland War Memorial Museum’s L.R.D.G. Membership Roll of February 1970 gives the latter form against the same service number, NZ #17450, so this is one man and not two records. His forenames are given in full there as Allan Alexander, where this roll held only Allen A. Source: Auckland War Memorial Museum, “Long Range Desert Group Membership Roll” — the L.R.D.G.
