With Armistice Day on Friday 11th November, it seemed the right time to acknowledge some of the many soldiers who did return from WW1. Of course, there were many from all services, women included.
These clippings are but a few from many available through TROVE. You can find many records through Record Search as well as other websites including
Defence and War Service records
Department of Veteran's Affairs
We thank them all for their service.
