Robert Paul McInerney - RTA - ID# 165
He talked about his war service, but never with regret.
My father, Paul McInerney, was a strong personality and a dominant force in my life.
To this day I can recall the sound of his voice, the stories he told, the words he used, and remember the views he expressed and the values he held. His was a life full of varied experiences which he enjoyed with vigour and enthusiasm.

David John SIMCOCK - KIA - ID# 15
I carnt berleeve he's gorn - Pore ole Pink
He was just a private, one of the many in the original 11th Battalion and yet everyone knew him. His shock of bright red hair made him instantly recognizable, but it was his magnetism, his humour, his personality which stood him apart from the others.
In 1914, aged 31 with a wife, two children and a fruit and vegetable business to manage, he could have easily left the fighting to younger men but he was amongst the first to enlist when the call went out for recruits for the Australian Infantry Forces.
