Personal Stories
Uncle Fred
I met (great) Uncle Fred in Albury in the late 1970's. What an honour! He was my maternal grandmother's brother. He was thin and old when I knew him, and he didn't talk about his service. I wish I had realised I might not see him again, I would have tried harder to ask him...
