Add my storyBiography contributed by Evan Evans
From Claire Dujardin, Charleroi, Belgian
(a true friend of the Aussie diggers)
The story of George Leahy and Albert Dussart is written in her book ("Never Forgotten - The Diggers in Charleroi December 1918 - May 1919") with the real story of Albert Dussart that is a little different of what is told in "Homing". She found the descendants of his brother Emile Dussart living in Charleroi. All the photos of the descendants of the Belgian family, Tasmanian family of George Leahy and Australian family of Hervé/Albert Dussart are in the book.
