Personal Stories
John (Dutchy) Patrick Canny
John served alongside his brother Thomas Joseph Canny WW1 as an enlisted member 9th Light Horse.
According to our grandfather, John never married. He according to Thomas was wounded in battle. (cant verify)
His nickname derived by his rapid speech pattern, who family members jokingly referred to him talking double Dutch. Thus the nickname of Dutchy.
