  1. Good morning,
    My mum recently passed, I found a Xmas card within her things from I’m presuming my great grand father to my great aunt from the Australian mechanical transport
    3rd A.B.A.F.A.P.S 1st ANZAC CORPS
    I would love to know more about him
    I cannot even give you his name, his son (my granddad served as well Ernest Willis Brisbane)
