Citation:

Fremantle-born Rochfort enlisted as a private in the 11th Battalion of the AIF in WWI. In August 1915, he was returned to Australia to become the recruiting officer for the Fremantle district. He was discharged from the army in February 1918 with the rank of Lieutenant.

Rochfort operated various stores around Fremantle. He became Commodore of the Fremantle Yacht Club and was a fishery inspector during the depression. His family later moved to Bunbury and in the 1930s to Palmyra. In November 1936 Frank died of a stroke.

It is presumed that Horace Rochfort is Frank's brother, as they both seem to have operated shops.
