Additional Information:

My Grandfather was in that barn. He made a border note in the family's "History of the QVRs" about it. He was also at Hill 60 and survived the war although shot in the leg. He would virtually genuflect as we passed the portrait of Lt Woolley at Davies St whilst attending the Christmas Parties as a kid. Horrendous times and we still haven't learnt
