Geoff, got a feeling that the above is not correct as Fraser, Hamilton, Smith and Hefferman are recorded as been interred at Ravenna, coudn't find Hefferman on the CWGC site. |
A few errors here:
On the Ravenna records CWGC has his name as Heffernan, not Hefferman, his Father as Herffernan and the Headstone as Hefferman?
There were four Aussies on the Malta memorial that were actually buried in Italy. This has now been changed.
