My Grandmother Edith lost both of her brothers, Her eldest James Stanley HARRIS #3168 aged 27years 4mths was with the 8th reinf 57 Batt Killed during the attack at Polygon Wood 26-9-1917 exactly 12 months after attestation, he was a Gardiner by trade, having immigrated with his family from England in 1911 he left Melbourne aboard the HMAT Medic after having just wed his love Winifred Watkins, and was off for the adventure and to do his bit for the Empire. Her younger brother George Legdon HARRIS #2044 was only 19 years 4 mths when he enlisted in 1915 his Mum giving her consent, as his father had died in 1896 the same year he was born. Yong George according to his service records was of bad character, He was on charges before he even alighted the HMAT Ballarat, for throwing food aboard the ship (come on he was young an invincible) or so he thought George Legdon was Killed 5 March 1918 "in the field" Messines Belgium. My Poor Dear Great Grandmother Lost Her Husband Fank in 1896 came to Australia to start over with her three children and niece Elizabeth Annie Stamp, She lost her only sons 6 months apart. Neither of their bodies were ever found for burial! I will remember them, and I wont forget. We will remember them, Lest we forget.
