Personal Stories
Logan Village Museum
Robert was born 13th September 1887 in Tambourine. He Died 4th October 1917 in Belgium. There is no known grave but he is remembered The Ypres Gate Panel 23.
His parents were Robert and Jennie nee Tait.
There is also a memorial stone for Robert in the Mundoolun Cemetery.
His Brother John Service No. 94004 was in the 2nd Light Horse Field Ambulance but I cannot find any file for him on this site.
They are both listed in the Museum Honour Roll as they lived and worked in the Tambourine area before enlisting.
