Still on the World War 1 theme I selected this post from Carole Riley because, as well as telling a story, it demonstrates the wealth of material that can be found in Australian World War 1 service files.

From Glyn, a beaut story, some determined research and great example of how persistance pays off.

That looks like a reasonable batch for my first post. I'll be saving any new GAGs I find into Evernote and will endeavour to share them next week.
Thank you for this most interesting list Jill. Number 6 is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteCarmel was one amazing librarian prior to her retirement and has so much to share with the genie community.
