@kimberley.j.c: At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them. In remembrance of my great grandad Thomas William Earnshaw service number 1121 who was in the 3rd battalion that left Sydney. He arrived in Gallipoli 25th April 1915, the second wave of soldiers. He remained in Gallipoli until 1916 then on to France. He was later discharged in London March 1919. He survived WW1, he lived on until 1951 where he tragically died from falling down a mine shaft and wasn't found for a week. Thomas your efforts will never be forgotten #Anzac #dawnservice
