Poppy Park
My name is Leanne Michelle Dunn. I work for the Department of Education in NSW. I am currently 50 years of age and I have recently purchased a Poppy from the Poppy Park website. I was sent an individual Poppy in remembrance of Edward Dwyer, Serial Number 5815, who was killed and missing in action 20th September, 1917. I have learned from this website that Edward's age is unknown and he was killed in Belgium and was a member of the 25th Infantry Battalion. He was a Private at the time of his death and a memorial at Menin Gate is held in his honour. I would like to have a photograph of him and would ask any members of his extended families to contact me, so as I can send the poppy to them as a keepsake and everlasting memento.
My mobile number is: 0449817115.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
