Lest we forget





James Oswald Doyle








Whilst I am very proud of both my parents who served in World War Two this year I especially remember my Maternal  Grandfather who one hundred years ago last month received a Gun Shot Wound to the shoulder,He spent many months in Hospital in England before he was repatriated to Australia where he took up a Soldier Settler's block married and had his five children. Unfortunately he died too young in his early sixties before all his grandchildren were born, only a few privileged ones like myself are old enough to remember him.
