Sidney's Story

My Grandmother's only brother, whom she adored. After his young wife died due to childbirth he took himself off to war and never came back. He was shot and killed at Gallipolli on 9 August 1915 and left his 3 young children as orphans. He was just 23 years of age. What a tragic waste of a young man's life. Gone but not forgotten.
