Add my storyBiography contributed by Geoffrey Gillon
Victor Robert Jondahl was 19 years old at enlistment, living with his parents at Langwarin in Vitoria.
He served with the 21st Batalion on the Gallipoli Peninsula, as part of the 2nd Division which landed in September 1915. By then the poor snaitation and hygiene associated with lots of rudimentary graves and a hot Turkish summer combined to generate a major disease threat in the form of Enteric Fever (aka Typhoid). It took a huge toll of bth sides.
Serious cases were evacuated to Egypt and the UK (via Malta)
His brother Henry William Jondahl also served, but survived the Great War.
