    William is my 3rd Great Uncle. This is the only known photograph of William. Next year several members of the extended family are travelling to France. We will be at his grave on the 100th anniversary of his death. Many of us meeting for the first time. Lest We Forget

    Malcolm Maurer That will be a very special occasion. We are really pleased that you have this photo of your Great Uncle. Great to hear just before Anzac Day - thanks for sharing.
