Thanks for that brother. A Great uncle fought near here, after completing the Battle of Menin Road. He was 21st Battalion. My ex-wife had family in the 40th and the 12th Battalions, both raised primarily in Tasmania. Subscribed to your channel
The AceDestroyer Royce Davis . He joined up in Sydney . His big brother said well if you’re going then so am I . So they signed up together. 5996 5997 .
Thanks! It are the stories like the ones of these two heroes, your great uncle and his brother, that keep me interested in the Great War. And the fact that I live close to the battlefields also helps of course.
The AceDestroyer Thankyou. Uncle Alf was featured here In Australia in a documentary about the mutiny on the western front. So much loss there is of beautiful people.🙏🙏
Both Norman Meagher and Frank Green wrote histories of the 40th. VC McGee ran across 50 metres of open ground in the 'face of certain death' but must have caught the machine gunner reloading.
