Barb,
I too, was the first in my family to find the link to my Grandfather. Until
about 2 years ago, we did not know who that was. To find out last Thursday
that he served in Gallipoli, was timing I'd conservatively explain as
'spooky'.

I can't recall which unit my uncle, Donald TAYLOR served with in WWII, but
my Grandfather, Sam MOSS, was in 2nd/23rb btn. in WWI, arriving in Gallipoli
in August, 1915, later going on to Somme, France, where he suffered a shell
wound to the hand.

Which units did other researchers family members serve in?
