Hi Bob, great to see the information you have gathered, I have a huge interest in WW1 and the people involved, only wish I did not have to work!, so I could spend time in the archives and maybe the turnbull library. I am fortunate that with my family many of the letters and details of family lost in WW1 were saved and I have them for reference. I visited many of their graves a few years ago. I do have some information on their friends, some who were killed or wounded at the same time, guys who went to school together etc. So one day I hope to spend time investigating these men as well. Id like to have time to view any war files on units my family were in, see if I can glean any more info. One relative was in the 2nd Australian Casualty Clearing station, were he died, I wonder if the Australian record hold details on patients? Anyway great to see someone interested in these “lost generations” and seeing them as people that did have lives.
all the best,

Hello Mike
My tahnks for your message!
If you have not already had a reply to this please accept my sincere apologies, I keep finding messages in my WordPress “inbox” that I cannot find where I had replied. If this is the case with you please let me know and I am sorry if I am guilty. Best of luck with your work. Where was the Aussie Clearing Station? was it at Gallipoli?
Best wishes

Hello Helen
What can you possibly think of me? I have not been able to find where I replied to you in the past and must apologise. I seem to have had a glitch a couple of years back in my WordPress inbox thingo and have failed to find messages sent to me at that time. I have just visited your beautiful blog and find it amazing and I intend to view it more asap. I note one mention of Nurse Cavell, I have from the Turnbull Library a very poor picture oif her grave taken shortlu after her death I will send it to you if you wish but you would need their OK to publish it.
My research began when I purshased a small suitcase containing the letters and PCs sent home from Leslie Gower which you will find transcribed at the bottom of my opening page at robertcameron.wordpress.com To cut along story short I felt that his family did not care about him, i would se that he was remembered.
If you wish to ad him to your stories I would be delighted.
More later
Cheers Kiwi Bob

Hi
I was having a look through your spreadsheet and came across a family member. I’m not sure if you interested in updating any of the biographical details or not.
