I have recently purchased some photographs (from Tasmanian Archives) of servicemen, taken from the Weekly Courier. The following names were on the photocopied pages I received and I thought they may be of interest to someone on the list. It states "Roll of Honour - Tasmanian soldiers who have been killed or wounded fighting for the Empire".
