“Pop” sadly died on ANZAC DAY, 1965, his lungs finally succumbing to the German mustard gas he faced in WW1. He is often accredited as being the ‘ghost’ that has been ever present since Grandson Michael’s early childhood years right through to this day. He is still clearly remembered by Michael even though he was only four when his Grandfather died.
