Pte. Herbert James Charleton Burton
Australian Imperial Force 43rd Battalion
from:Angaston
My grandfather, Herbert Burton, was injured in Belgium at Ypres and was repatriated to Eastbourne around 3td of July 1917. He had severe gunshot wounds to his shoulder, and to his leg, which was subsequently amputated. During his convalescence he was visited by his brother Stanley Charles Burton while he was on leave. It was the final time the two brothers were to meet as Stanley died on the battlefield later that month in France.
