Personal Stories
Thomas Jewell
Tom was my grandfather. He and his brother Will both volunteered and fought in France. Both were wounded and returned to Australia. Tom was a driver in Queensland Railways who married and had four children. I have a copy of a publication called “Some of Those Who Served” which gives more details on Tom. Once I have permission from the publisher I’ll forward it.
Regards
