Bogus Heroes Sentenced for Crete Deception
Two privates from the Goulburn ALF Training Depot, Victor Roy and William Alan Forrest, were jailed for three months hard labour for assaulting a police sergeant and obtaining money from the Patriotic Fund by falsely claiming wounds from fighting Nazis in Crete. The sentences were cumulative. Police showed a tin with iodine and bandages used to stage fake injuries. Forrest had prior break in and car theft convictions. Roy had theft and evasion in Queensland. Authorities dropped two additional charges of false pretences and attempting to obtain funds by misrepresentation.
