  • I have lovely memories of Granddad, when he and Nana Olive lived in Marion Ave. Having had the opportunity to attend the 100th anniversary in Gallipoli last year (2015), I now appreciate even more the sacrifice and service you gave for our beautiful country Granddad. Thank you so much. Lest We Forget.

  • In loving tribute to my Grandfather who served our country in World War 1 & from what my mother told me he suffered the effects of being gassed. I have fond memories of him and am very proud of him & his great service. With loving thoughts & heartfelt gratitude not just to him but to all the brave men who have served our country. Lest we forget. Gone but not forgotten.
