Blackblue Posted 9 April , 2006 Share Posted 9 April , 2006 I am currently in the process of compiling a history of the 26th Battalion AIF in the Great War. I am also completing a PhD on the subject. Any diaries, letters, photographs etc. of former members would be much appreciated. Please feel free to e-mail me on timdawe@bigpond.com.

stevenbecker Posted 9 April , 2006 Share Posted 9 April , 2006 Mate, Have you had a talk to Bob Doneley to see if he had any thing that may relate to the 26th Bn AIF after he did the history of the 25th Bn AIF. As a fellow Queenslander he should have a few ideas. Cheers S.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted 12 April , 2006 Share Posted 12 April , 2006 Hi Tim Probably can't help you much with the 26th as only one of my approx 3000 Freo soldiers that I'm researching served with them, but I'll keep my eyes open over here in case I see anything. Would love to hear about your trip when you get back. Cheers Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
