    3. Hi Doug, Somewhere I have a photo of one "Duke",think the name was Colin ,Gardner, taken at our camp in where the prize pigs had been housed, at the Colac showgrounds in 1941. We were members of No 1 ( Wangaratta) Troop, B Squadron of the 8th (Indi) Light Horse Regiment.I took the photo on time exposure so Duke had to sit still for a while,not easy in the circumstances. The Wilson"s were our next door neighbours at Wooragee , they had been there ,originally with the Graham"s ,since the early days of the settlement of the Wooragee Valley. During my schooldays I used to walk through Wilson"s house on my way to and from school, down through the orchard and through the house. When the last of the Wilson"s ,"Old Jack" lost a leg "YoungJack"and his wife Mona , who,I think was a Gardner,came to Wooragee from Milawa to care for him until he died, they carried on the farm until "Young Jack'died ,the farm was sold and Mrs Wilson went back to Milawa. They were wonderful friends and neighbours to us. Regards Alan French
