Well it seems I have been barking up the wrong tree as many of you have pointed out, but tomaustin gets the prize, the name is HJ Wilkinson. Herbert James Wilkinson enlisted early 1916 arriving England late 1916 and was taken on strength of the 46th Battalion, 1st AIF. His regimental number matches the number on the shoulder board and it is the 46th Australian Infantry Battalion, not the german 46th Battery. So thanks to all that contributed, I have now downloaded HJW's service record and can look at where he might have picked it up in France (if he didnt purchase or trade it with another digger).
