Thank you Pat That is so kind of you . It took nine years to give him a proper resting place but in all that time Australia corresponded with his parents

The knife is a bayonet, and as Pat says this is so sad, a battlefield grave complete with sandbags edging................... We will remember them.

As you have been online several times since I restored your photo.. and have not responded to the work carried out by me...I take it that you have all the restores you need and mine are surplus to requirements so I have removed them.
