Hi Elspeth
I am researching two Farm Apprentice's Sidney Pawson & John William Lowe who both came from a small village called Laceby in Lincolnshire.
I found more information via Australian Imperial Forces Project website
www.aif.adfa.edu.au:8080/showPerson?pid=236057
both boys enlisted & served in WW1
John William Lowes was a Driver during war Reg No is 798 he was in 9th Light Horse & 2nd reinforcement.
Sidney Pawson Pvte 32nd Battalion & 8th reinforcement
He married during war while in England & returned to Australia with his wife.
My Grandparents lived next door to his family in Laceby and my Aunt visited him and his wife when she was in Australia during 1960's. She say's at the time of her visit they had not returned to England although they had been planning a visit Sidney's wife was not well. Records show he died 1983.
If anyone can provide further information regarding either of these boys I would appriciate hearing from you.
