I thought I would share with you some details about the Australian soldiers (ANZACS) that are buried in Shorncliffe Cemetery. Their stories are listed below after I captured the images of their headstones on a visit there earlier this year.
As a fellow Australian, I pay tribute to these men, and hope that their memories will never be forgotten.
