While working on
the WWI project with our historical society, I realised I hadn’t written up
much about my own family Anzacs, and so this is the week to do it.
I’m going to try
to put up a post each day on a WWI Anzac from my family tree.
Working with the
wonderful team on this project has been a great learning experience for me, I’ve
become so much better at reading service records, knowing the abbreviations and
knowing where to look for all sorts of interesting bits and pieces.
I’ve realised
how lucky my grandfather’s family was.
Two brothers and a brother-in-law went
off to the war and they all came home and lived long enough for me to know
them.
But two of them
didn’t have children, so who else would write anything about them.
They should
be remembered for the remarkable men they were.
