asked about his home and family In
Australia, said: ''There were six Of
us lads and mother. We all enlisted
and left mother alone. It was her
wish. She said she hoped no boy of
hers would hold back when the mother
country called. And now five of us
are asleep buried on the battlefields of
Fraace, and am the only one left"
There was few moments of silence,
and then he added: But lave not
