My great Nanna’s brother

If you go to Harrow on the wall memorial Park his name is in There . It is amazing. He’s there with William and Tom. His other brother never came back but it is well worth the trip. It is amazing to learn the history of all of them, I never ever knew my great Nanna Mary Jane Gifford had so many brothers and sisters. What an absolute honour to find out if they went in the wall every year I go to Harrow on Anzac Day in March. I have tears in my eyes of pride and joy. It’s an honour.
