Personal Stories
Pte Charles Hutchins
From #AboriginalANZAC
Pte Charles Hutchins showed true grit thru Gallipoli as he was: severely ill 3x, had near fatal gunshot wounds, and attacked w/mustard gas. The silver lining: He met his wife-to-be Rose during his recovery in London (married 19/3/1919), who moved back to Perth with him after the war.
