| Summary |
Join Uncle Ken Jones as he talks proudly about his grandfather, William Charles Westbury, the only Aboriginal soldier to serve in both the Boer War and World War 1. Uncle Ken's research into his grandfather's wartime experiences has uncovered some amazing facts, including his role in the mounted battalion in South Africa, and William's battalion being one of the first ashore during the landing at Gallipoli. |
