Prior to his death he went through the Dardanelles Campaign, he was wounded and gassed. His body was found by a stretcher bearer after the advance on Poelcapple. There is a Stone Memorial to him at The Tyne Cot Memorial.
Robert was a married man who left a widow Ellen (my great grandmother) and 5 children. Even though she remarried she never forgot Robert and had a photo of him at the bottom of the stairs, which loved and never took it down until her own death at the lovely age of 90 and unfortunately was destroyed by a family member.
I have a paper cutting of Robert with his photo, unfortunately it will not scan good enough to get a clear look of this handsome man to which I am very proud and honoured to know he fought for the likes of me so I enjoy the life the courageous men fought for.
