Paddington War Memorial - inscribed as O WYLD, not designated as DOI. Name not inscribed on the Gardner Memorial. Unsure if a Roll of Honour was produced by the St. Matthias' Church, Paddington, N.S.W.
Place of Association – Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.
There is no memorial inscription on the gravesite plaque for father Daniel to tell us of the loss of his son during The Great War, and I am unable to erect a Memorial cross, so I have placed poppies in remembrance of Daniel’s service and supreme sacrifice for God, King & Country. ANGLICAN 1-67. 91.
There is no headstone for mother Lilly and stepmother Mary, therefore no Memorial inscription to tell us of the loss of their son during The Great War, so June 2022 I placed a Memorial cross adorned with poppies at the gravesite in remembrance of Daniel’s service and supreme sacrifice for God, King & Country. ANGLICAN 1-48. 80.
Contact with descendants would be greatly appreciated.
