Keith was born on the 21/2/1914 in Kalgoorlie, WA.
He enlisted on the 9/12/1940 and after training as a fighter pilot was posted to a Spitfire Squadron. Keith served also with No 450 RAAF squadron in the Western Desert, North Africa from May 1942.
Just one month later he was shot down during a sortie and became a Prisoner of War 26/6/1942.
When peace was declared Keith made his way back home and was eventually discharged on the 27/11/1945.
There is very little information on Keith and his time as a POW but his contribution to the war effort was significant as can be seen from the letter regarding his Air Force Reserve status which was terminated in September 1960.
