Visit Legerwood Tasmania to see their small avenue of carved trees (view them on Google). The town records this soldier (John H. G.) as having been born 28 Sep 1897 to Archibald & Elizabeth Ryley. John was brother to 8 children (4 other sons and 4 daughters). He is shown as being K.I.A aged just 20 years old at Passchendaele Ridge on 13 Oct 1917. Lest We Forget
