ANZAC My Great Grandads
Two of my great Grandfathers were in World War Two.
This is a photo of my Nana's Dad. His name is Robert Walter Jefferries.
This is the bit of broken bomb that was in his leg (shrapnel).
My other Great Grandad was in the war too.This is a letter sent from Great Grandad Turner to my Grandad from the war when he was a little boy. It is made out of finely sliced wood. You can see the grain. It was captured from the Japanese for the soldiers to use for their letters. It was sent in 1943.
