Default Tell us your ANZAC story, Lest we Forget

In memory of those who fought for our country/freedom, I thought maybe we could share our family heroes.

My Great Grandfather Alexander Whiteley, 2nd Pioneer Battalion, departed Fremantle 11/05/1917 for Europe. Was wounded, sent back to London for medical, recuperated, back to the front as a trench digger.
Returned a damaged man mentally 23/07/1919


My Pop was in PNG for WW2, Sgt in the RAAF. An aircraft mechanic and weapons engineer. Bottom far right, in front of a Beaufort bomber


A couple of years ago I went to Villers Brettoneux for Anzac Day, bumped into Cpl Mark Donaldson, a VC recipient.
