This is a tale of blighted expectations, told by Rod Martin.
Cyril and his older sister, Mabel Mona (b. 1891), about 1900
(Rodd Johnson/Greg Kaighin)
Cyril was working as a clerk at the GPO in Melbourne when he decided to enlist in 1918. Things did not go well for him from that time. See Rod's story here.
Cyril is commemorated on the GPO Roll of Honour "To the Glorious Dead".
