You're Top Poster: #3 | I thought it was magnificent. I was looking through the WW1 flyboys. The example left out what time his local pub shut however in those days it was probably 6PM.

You're Top Poster: #3 | This one even had the family connections who fought, died, or survived. http://www.aif.adfa.edu.au:8080/showPerson?pid=9725 Can you imagine how long the input time was to source & collate all the info of the 330,000 Anzacs who fought overseas!

You're Top Poster: #9 | That's a great resource Spidge, thanks. I found both John Zupp and James Frederick, the great Uncle, that I've been researching of late. The latter was killed at Hamel and this website list the names of those in his unit as well. Thanks again, Owen |
