I have such vivid memories of them when I was young, visiting at Fingal almost weekly at one stage and Christmas celebrations in that beachy outdoor outdoor area at the back of the house. But I was barely 12 by the time Queenie moved to Redcliff and Grandpa Anderson (as we called him) died when I was 10. We visited in Redcliff a couple of times but I think by 1981 there was less contact. It was great to read this story and put the history together. I have the photos and some of the background but this makes them come to life even more. Great memories.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15631262753117835604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790771679724145322.post-22679795131142507732020-12-25T14:49:58.426+10:002020-12-25T14:49:58.426+10:00Fingal brought back many memories for me

At the Australasian Congress, Paul Milner gave a great talk about researching miners. I only went to it because I'd discovered that he was such a brilliant presenter!

They were both "originals", having embarked on the troopship HMAT A11 Ascanius on 24th May 1915 bound for Egypt (2 July 1915) and ultimately onto Gallipoli on 12 September 1915.<br /><br />Do you know which platoon number Victor was assigned to in "A" Company? Frank may have been in Victor's platoon and so they probably knew each other.<br /><br />I've put together a list on the NLA's Trove website. You may find it interesting. <br />https://trove.nla.gov.au/list?id=136892<br /><br />I also found Victor's poems about the war quite moving.<br /><br />Hope to hear from you soon.<br /><br />Rgds,<br />Jay & Vanessa (Sydney, Australia).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02880261040371913847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790771679724145322.post-86815980493112898532020-01-12T12:15:28.254+10:002020-01-12T12:15:28.254+10:00What an interesting story!

Some of my UK families (eg, HUDSON and BOWSER) also went to Canada or Australia; and in at least one case it was for health reasons. And in the mid-1900s a HUDSON family emigrated from Yorkshire to Australia, and were astonished when I traced them and told them that they already had relatives here.Judy Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730547717403140047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790771679724145322.post-79915845375182373332020-01-11T16:38:38.229+10:002020-01-11T16:38:38.229+10:00Awesome account Chris!
