Gnr. Harry Webber MM.
British Army 295th (North Midlands) Brigade Royal Field Artillery
from:Cheritonfitzpaine, Devon
Harry Webber was my Grandfather, he arrived in Australia in 1924 with his family in tow, with my Grandmother, Aunty and Uncle. He was a strong but gentle man, they worked hard to survive and had 3 more children. The country they settled in is some of the toughest country to establish a farm in. They ended up retiring to the city 30 years later. I heard a lot of stories from my grandmother, about my grandfather. He was tough, stubborn, and lead from the front. I was told he did the same in WW1 and was demoted as often as he was promoted. But I was told by a gentleman that he was respected by all, including his officer at the end of the war. A proud era in time, such a sad loss of life to go with it.
He died in 1972
