Cpl. Robert Partis
British Army 13th Btn Northumberland Fusiliers
from:Blyth
Robert Partis was my grandfather. He emigrated to Australia with his family in 1931 and lived at Hemmant, a suburb of Brisbane. On the death of his last child, a daughter who was the last member of her generation in the family, as I was the eldest of the next generation I inherited an illuminated address thanking Robert for his service in the 13th Btn Northumberland Fusiliers in WW1, presented to him by the citizens of Blyth, Northumberland. Before that I had no idea that he had been in the army during that conflict.
