My Great Grandfather on my father's side. He served in the Boer War in the 3rd NSW Mounted Rifles No. 3340. He served in WW1 in the 4th Battalion as a Musketry Instructor at Sutton Veny in England. He had to return home during WW1 due to the death of his wife during childbirth, to sort out arrangements for his 6 children under 11 years of age. He re enlisted in 1919 in the Special Services Unit.
