I heard on the ABC this morning Malcolm WOOD interviewed on the recent release of brother Doug in Iraq. He mentioned that three of the brothers had had a reunion in Beechworth a few years ago which made me wonder whether they might be connected with the WOOD family below with which I have a connection. Can anyone shed any light?
