	I have just trashed another family story, and having spoken to another elderly cousin who knew granddad a little better than I did, it seems granddad like to spin "fairy stories". Although until I showed this cousin a copy of granddads enlistment papers, he would have sworn the story that granddad told was true. I now have the task of researching granddads trip to Australia, yes he did go, but the story he told on his return !!!!!!!!!!!!. Kathlyn
