Grandpa was born in 1889, was a medical officer in WW1, and received a Distinguished Service Order (DSO) for heroism in 1917 in Belgium. I have a whole range of stuff about grandpa, and have included a lot of pictures and historical information in my 'Grandpa pages'. To find out more about my grandfather, click HERE. |

During his time in WW1, Grandpa obtained a rather interesting panoramic photograph of the Allied front line ("Western Front") during the Battle of Passchendaele, taken on 24 October 1917. I loaned the 4.1 metre-long photo to the Australian War Memorial (AWM), and it was copied for their archives. It is available on the AWM web site as a resource for historical purposes. Click on the image to get more information about the photograph. Or click HERE. |
