  • Christopher Walker Payne is remembered this ANZAC day by those who share his name and have been named in his memory including John Christopher Payne (deceased), John's daughter Christine and her son Calum John Christopher. His WW1 service medals are treasured by our family and are symbolic of a life lost too young in battle.

  • Christopher you will be always remembered. Your sister Effie had your photo on wall and as her Grand daughter I will always remember seeing it as a child. Doing the family tree has bought you very close to me . I one day would love to go to visit your resting place . Effie never forgot her baby brother you meant so much to her .
