  • Sad day for our family. We did not meet you but Mum ( your sister Annetta) made sure we knew about you and kept your memory alive.
    Anzac Day was never a good day for her.
    My grandchildren - Mackenzie and Fletcher wear your medals with great pride on this day each year.
    We think and talk of you a lot.
    Our men have become more recognised as the years pass. Thank you for your contribution.
