Personal Stories
Private Thomas Wintle
Thomas died at the Caulfield Military Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria on the 12th June 1918, ultimately from wounds received in France in 1916 at Pozieres.
His name was inadvertently missed from eligibility for the Australian War Memorial Roll of Honour, until his omission was rectified in 2010.
