Hi Richard This information is adding to the dossier that I now have on Herbert Alfred Vayro, thanks to other members of Goons and UDFHG. Interestingly enough I suspected that he had a middle name, and I have three records for other Alfred Vayro s, but all with different service numbers to Herbert. Another point that I have confirmed from my own searches of FMP was that my grandfather Thomas had definitely enlisted in 1908, in what was the Second Battalion Volunteers DLI, part of the Territorial forces from the Bishop Auckland area of County Durham. Whereas most like my grandfather were born in the 1880s there were two James Vayro s whose attestation papers show 1895 and 1896 both aged 18. Would I be wrong to assume that they had joined the regular Army? Thanks again, the jigsaw picture is getting coming into focus.

On this Remembrance Day I commemorate the life of Lance-Corporal Joseph Cree. I regard his as being perhaps an archetypal soldier's story. I pieced it together from his military record which I discovered in the National Archives of Australia website. He is not related to me and there may not be many others who now have cause to remember him. See "Whatever happened to our Joe?" at http://www.cree.name/archives/war.htm.

Hi Mike Super little story about one of the Australian "Fallen" in WW1. Like so many his place in the battlefield where he went missing and where he died is so typical of the many who fought beside him.
