He received word of a R.A.A.F. plane crash near Amberley on 25 April 1941 while he was stationed at West Ipswich. He and Constable Gollan went to the site where they learnt that the twenty-three-year-old pilot, Flight Lieutenant John Beresford Hawden had died. Constable Eiser accompanied the body to the Morgue and was present at the autopsy.
