I am wondering if anyone can assist in getting another photo for me from the Australian War Memorial please. This one is for a Pte. George Spence 184,9th bn AIF George Spence's name is located at 57 in the Commemorative Area at the Australian War Memorial. If any one can assist thank you very much. Regards Mike.
Just bumping this up if any one can help. Here is also the link to George's Roll of honour page George Spence As I have noticed the above link in my first post as changed. Regards Mike.
I should be able to do that. I'm in Canberra. You want a picture of his name on honour roll wall. Should be easy, just give me a a week or so. Regards Barbara
Hello Barbara, Your offer is fantastic thank you very much, any time will do for me cheers and yes I would like a photo of his name on the memorial wall and also a photo of the panel which he is remembered please. Best wishes Mike.
Hi Mike Attached are the requested photos from the AWM Memorial today. Lest We Forget Regards Barbara.
Barbara thank you very much for getting the photos from the memorial for me it is very much appreciated. Best wishes Mike,
You're welcome Mike. I hope that's everything you wanted. It's a beautiful place. 4 soldiers stand guard there each day and have a regular changeover, which is quite a ceremony in itself! B
Yes they are just what I wanted thanks again Barbara. I like all the poppies a very nice touch Regards Mike

Lovely photo; so sad he died. As you probably already know, WW1 was even more devastating for Australia than WW2. Around 1 in 3 able men were killed or maimed. This haunting poster sums up the shock felt across the nation.
