Personal Stories
201 Sgt. Robert Brown Gove - 1st Division, 4th Battalion
I am the great grandson of Robert Gove, 201...
Odd he doesn't get a mention in "The Fighting Fourth".
He landed at Gallipoli on the morning of 25 Apr 1915, was wounded and also survived Lone Pine.
On to Pozieres, wounded, shot, buried, copped the lot.
Just another humble Anzac.
