hi, I am looking for my grandfather, his name is Henry Ernest White and he fought with one of the Victorian contingents, any info would be helpful!

I have had a quick scan through the nominal roll of the Victorian contingents to the ABW (as well as the 2nd Scottish Horse who recruited in Victoria) and cannot find such a name. Can you supply more info?
Regards
IL.
