then I did some research on the AWM site and thought it might be of interest to others if I post this link to the page I found.......

Added: I did get it a bit wrong.....photos are being collected for those on the Roll of Honour, not all who served.

Apologies for replying to a very old post. Only just found it.

I think it a pity that the war memorial is not collecting photos of all who served. All the WWI diggers are gone now and many of their families may be gone soon. The opportunity to collect these photos is now and not in a generation or 2 or a hundred years' time when the photos are no longer there.

Do those who left no kin not have the right to be remembered?
Do those who were wounded and died once home not have as much right to remembrance as those who died on the battlefield? After all they had the daily battlefield of injury?
Are they too not be remembered because they did not die early enough or reach their centenary of age?

Bravery is not necessarily awarded medals. I am certain many deserved VCs but the process and system of observing and recording and reporting was not in place or unknown to those present.
Unobserved and unseen bravery is still bravery. And those who lived with and died of wounds later still died for Australia but do not appear on the roll of honour.

In many localities throughout Australia there are War Memorials, Honour Rolls, Plaques and other permanent reminders.  Recorded on these are the names of those locals who served, not just those who did not return, but the names of those who served.    Local communities raised the funds, collected the details and set about ensuring that "their name liveth forever more"

Lest We Forget.

I'm hoping that this message will make it through to Albert Edgar Anderson's family in the UK. As I mentioned in response to a previous post, he sent letters through to the Sydney Stock & Station Journal under the name "Lucerne" as did his sister.
He sent this letter in about his trip over on the boat:
Sydney Stock and Station Journal (NSW : 1896 - 1924), Friday 14 April 1916, page 8
________________________________________
FAREWELL.
Dear 'Planets,' — My address you want I know, so I am writing now to let you have it. We embarked under an overcast- sky, but we did very well though. We are on a lovely boat, and everything seems very comfortable. We are in for a great trip, I think, and I have to come through with some knowledge of troopship travelling to tell fellow-Leaguers. I am just writing this before dinner, so I will have to dose. I will try and write to the League later, as I am afraid they will think me a deserter. having not written for montns But during the last few weeks I have been just awfully busy and couldn’t write to anyone hardly. Must close or miss the last post, so with best wishes. I bid you and all the Leaguers good-bye for the present. — Your, etc., _ 'LUCERNE.'
I started researching these soldiers as I could trace them back before the war and in some instances afterwards as well. One of the journalists enlisted. He was Colin Barclay Smith but wrote as "Barclay". After joining him on bike tours through NSW before he enlisted and through Egypt and France, it turned out that he lived a street away from where I grew up in Sydney, although he had died by then. I would be happy to share my research with his family.
Best wishes,
Rowena
