Spr. Robert Hood
Australian Imperial Force 4 sect. 1st Australian Tunnelling Company
from:Sydney
Robert Hood (my grandfather) was from Scotland. He came to Australia in 1912 and settled in Sydney. He met my grandmother in Perth during their enforced extended stay after the HMAT Ulysses was damaged. He was promoted to CQMS and returned to Australia in May 1919, married my grandmother in Perth and moved to Sydney. Their daughter was born in August 1920 and Robert took his own life on 22nd September 1920. He had been very disturbed by the war.
