My maternal Grandfather James Oswald Doyle , injured at Flanders in WW1 then went back to farming in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area not far from where he grew up. In 1936 he flew to the USA to study rice growing methods. He was very civic minded and served on the Rice Marketing Board for many years and was a Councillor in the local Shire as well as being active in the Farmers and Settlers Association in Griffith but also on the State level.

He died quite young (64) and only a few of we older cousins remember him, I was 12 when he died and I'm the 4th eldest Grandchild of 24.
