Travel to almost any city, town or hamlet in Australia and New Zealand and the chances are you will find some sort of memorial to the Anzac soldiers of the Great War. But of the thousands of memorials found across the country, this one here in Mullumbimby in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia, has special significance to me personally.  That's because of the four names that it represents — my grandfather his two brothers and his brother-in-law. 

I am taking the opportunity of exploring the First World War Anzacs in our family. We’re trying to track down the men behind the pictures and fragments of memory that are part of our family heritage – and discover our own connections to the Great War.  Join us as we embark on a journey of discovery back into history to discover secrets from the past.  I’m sure there are going to be lots of surprises along the way.
