My Grandfather Stanley (Stanly) Gordon Jullyan V332066 or V352066 who served in both World Wars. In the first as a private in the 4th field Ambulance from 17 Sept 1914 till 18 Nov 1918. In the second as a Lieutenant in 6th Battalion from 27 Feb 1942 till his discharge on either 30 September or 1 October 1943 after being shot overseas (I assume in New Guinea). He was repatriated to Australia wounded and suffering the effects of his wounds and passed away in 1951 not long before I was born. Lest we Forget.

In Memory of my Great Uncle - Sgt. Joseph Chester KERR No. 900 D Coy. 24th Battalion, AIF, -(Red and White Diamond) Killed in Action 26th August, 1916 age 20 years 4th Son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel J. Kerr, "Arcadia Homestead", Shepparton. Victoria. Survived Gallipoli and killed in the battle for "Mouquet Farm", near Poziers, France. No known grave, but believed to be buried in the Poziers (British) Commonwealth Cemetery at Ovillers-La Boisselle, France. In a letter home to Chesters parents dated Sept. 14th, 1916 from Pte. W.W. Little - I, Private W.W. Little, 906, 24th Batt., D. Coy, am very sorry to relate the death of your brave son, Sergeant J.C. Kerr who was killed in action the end of last month. I have known Chess ever since he joined the colors in March, 1915. I have been with him ever since he left Australia. He was always very well liked by the boys as a private and also as a N.C.O., which we all think and know he was the right man in the right place. He was holding a very important position in the front firing line at the time he met his death. I was a stretcher-bearer, and the call came along the line, and I saw Chess; I did my best and got him on my stretcher. After attending to him I saw he was beyond all hope, and he asked for water. He said "I am only paying the price which others have paid and I know there is no chance for me. Never mind. Are my men still hanging on to that post?" I think personally, that he was the bravest soldier that was in the 24th Battalion, and the lads of the company are never finished talking about him as he was highly respected by all who knew him, and the next morning we buried him. And in time, if all goes well, I will be able to tell you more, as I could tell you more by word of mouth than letter. I must say that all the Privates, N.C.O.s, and Officers are very sorry at their's and your loss. We miss him more as each day goes by. I think this is all I can say just now.

It is stated on records at NAA that she was "non AIF" Regards Selena

Susan Commonwealth War Dead includes all British, Empire and Commonwealth war dead who were members of military forces. It distinguishes military dead from civilians and merchant seamen. England is part of the United Kingdom and soldiers from England are usually referred to as British soldiers.
