Rose and Vonney visited Pozierre about 5 years ago and brought back a cd film of the local school's annual play about Percy Cherry and his role in their town.
This has been lent out numerous times and its current location is not known.
Does anyone know who has it at present?
If so please email us (acbcreunion@gmail.com) with the info.
thankyou.

Family Contact Information
We need your details.....
Recently we have sent family members a questionaire and a spreadsheet for completion.
Did you receive one? If not please let us know so we can get it out to you quickly.
We are currently trying to make contact with as many family members as possible and record the best way to keep the contact details. We don't want to miss anyone.
It will be very important that we remain in contact with "bona fide" family members leading up to the WW1 and Anzac commemorations.
Regards,
Andrew Schwinghammer

Family Memorabilia
Do you have any Family Memorabilia?
Leading up to the centenary commemorations, family "service" memorabilia will be important. Do you have any stacked away in a cupboard? Do you have any photos, which will have relevance?
Gina visited her uncle, Clifford Batchelor in New Zealand recently and he said he did not have any "service" photos of himself, they had all been sent to his mother and father Cyril and May Batchelor. Have any of these been passed down to you?
We have photographed his medals though, do you have any? We would like to share your story.

The Committee, so far, consists of Andrew Schwinghammer, Gina Scott, William Westhead and Susan Malishev.
Some contact work with the DVA has already been done and some family members have attended the public forums
regarding the Ballot leading up to those who may be able to attend the Gallipoli commemorations in 2015 in Turkey.
Please feel free to leave your comments on this blog or provide any feed back to any of the committee members. Soon we hope to send out a spreadsheet to ask for your contact details and information. Please try to complete as much information as possible, it will assist us to keep in contact with as many as possible during this important time for our family.
