Australian War Memorial
posted by Chuck A. Spear @ 8:40 AM
There is an excellent post over at Misguided Idealism by heatseeker. His great grand uncle, Sydney Vivian Wade, was one of the few to be buried in a marked grave after dying as a result of a gun shot wound in the horrific battle of Fromelles.
A letter Syd (aged 16) penned to his father 'attesting that he was aged 18 years and five months' is now part of the National Archive.
