@lisa_wilkinson : One hundred years ago today, on the hallowed fields of #villersbretonneux in France, my beautiful late grandfather, William Charles Wilkinson, took his place alongside the troops of the 15th Brigade during WW1 in one of the most horrific battles Australian Forces have ever seen. Against all odds they triumphed in capturing back the town of Villers-Bretonneux which signalled the end of the war, but at a cost of more than 2400 young Australian lives. Untold others came home wounded including Sapper Wilkinson. Right now, my brother Kyle is walking those same fields and attending the dawn service, with my grandfather’s medals proudly in hand. “Bappy”, as we called him, returned home after a long stay in hospital and went on to marry our grandma Elsie. He died when I was just 11, and to the best of my knowledge never complained about his injuries, nor spoke of the horror he witnessed, or of the dear friends he lost. And despite all he endured, he was without doubt the kindest and most humble man I have ever known. Lest we forget.... #ANZAC #ANZACday #lestweforget
