Private William Alan Jones 297 11th Light Horse
Hi all,
It saddens me when I find items like this. A portrait photograph with a clear Light Horseman standing proudly before you with his simple biographic details of his full name, where and when he was born and died, his marriage details and that of his parents. And then someone has gone and ripped it in half an then pieced it back together.
Private William Alan Jones 297 was a stockman from Rockhampton in the 11th Light Horse. Having enlisted on the 4 January 1915 he sailed on the HMAT A30 Borda on 16 June 1915 and saw service in the desert campaign. He returned to Australia on the 26 July 1919. I haven't researched anything further about him.
Lest We Forget, Dean
