RE: ANZAC - William Albert MCALLEN
Great post @lordnigel, was he a relative of yours? Those pictures and letters are so touching. The pink telegram must have been so heart stopping to recieve.
Couldnt believe how objective and unsincere it was either. Unfortunately i suppose the army was writing hundreads ler day and didnt have it in him to give more.
He was my wife's Grand fathers brother.
Yeah seems cold, I believe it might have costs per word with those old telegrams, and not easy to write heaps - very different times.
