Forebear Friday

This one's in honour of ANZAC day.

I haven't done much research on Bert, but he served in the defence force (not sure which one) and died in 1915 during WWI. He is a Great Uncle or Cousin or something I think. There was a little note written about him from another relative in a letter sent to my Great Grandmother, it says "Isn't it sad poor old Bert got killed. It was for a grand cause and some of us have to go under and I hope with a smile when it does come." The man who wrote this came back alive.

God Bless Bert and so many others who went off bravely to do their best for us.

Our family has a number of photos of young men in uniform getting ready to go off and serve in the great war.

May we never forget their sacrifices.
