LETTER TO MY FATHER
Headlines of Old
Something completely different this week, back to our travels next week…
Third Contingent Australians, Boer War, Trove Tuesday 4th Sept 2018, lists of names, incl. addresses, images, independent military forces, unification of forces, British Empire..Canada, New Zealand, Natal, Cape Colony, Breaker Morant,
I came across these photos of enlisted men a little while back and simply couldn't resist... the story was waiting in the background and begging to be shared.
So, while not some dreamy or interesting place to put on the bucket list, I hope you find it as interesting as I did and maybe even find an image of an ancestor. There is so much more available on TROVE re this conflict, and detailed descriptions of not only Australia's involvement, but of how men came from many countries around the world to be part of this oft forgotten war.
I've been asked to include a list of my blogs... so here they are.. They are also listed in the side column of each blog. Thank you.
Thank you for including my blog posts!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Amy...happy to do so.
