In the second war he was a sergeant in Townsville Area Office then was seconded to the Commonwealth as Rehabilitation Officer.

Death Shortens a Useful Life
The sudden death on Thursday morning of Mr Oscar St John Johnson Commonwealth Employment will leave a tinge of regret in the heart of every ex-service (in) North Queensland who has had cause to sel departmental guideance after his discharge, and in the hearts of countless others who were fortunate enough without assistance to slip into the old g**ive after their service was finished.

To ex-service personnel the name of Oscar Johnson has been a by-word since the German and Jap cried enough in the late war.

The late Mr Johnson who was 53, was a veteran of the first World War. When the balloon soared again in the second world catastrophe, he rallied to the colours but the years.
