A personal salute to my grandad, Col Sheppard, CIE, my gr uncle Mj Gn Clowes,MC gallipoli 25 apr & Milne Bay , gr uncle Mj Clowes,MC Gr uncle Cpt Clowes KIA on his 23rd birthday NG, cous Sgt Clowes, gr uncle Pvt Tom Sheppard KIA Palestine WWI age 17; uncle Pvt Dan Clowes, Fromelle; friend Col Harry Smith,MC 6RAR, Long Tan, friend Cpl Buddy Lee, 6RAR, Long tan and 1OCTU where I knew him.
