The book is by my Great Uncle Dick!

On 27 September 2006 I posted a query about him "Gallipoli Peninsula April 1915, how come Great Uncle was there, HAC and Gallipoli" (this is now filed under Gallipoli) and I had lots of helpful responses.

Great Uncle remains on my long list of people to find out more about.....

Hopefully you still have a long time ahead of you to find more on Uncle Dickie. Good Luck.
