229278 Pte. Albert Edward Bailey Australian Imperial Force B Coy 37th Btn. from:Coburg My grandfather Bert Bailey enlisted in Melbourne and sailed on the HMAT Persic. After training at Salisbury Plain under General John Monash, they sailed from there to France and as you already have the battle honours listed, I won't go into that. "Pop" was a Lewis Gunner and was on active service until he was gassed during an assault on the Hindenburg Line in 1918. While he was recovering in England, he met and married my grandmother. They both returned to Australia on board the Canberra in 1919.
