He had donated them to the Museum. They were in a glass case in the 'body-and something-or-other exhibit.<BR/><BR/>Then again, you've possibly seen them already.<BR/><BR/>You know, I always thought that the old Fairfield was the infectious diseases hospital.

He spent 2 years of his life in Royal Perth Hospital - lost part of one of his lungs. All the while, my grandmother travelled every week by train from Kalgoorlie (gold country) with two small children to visit him in hospital.<BR/><BR/>Their strength still brings tears to my eyes.Kelly & Sam Pilgrim-Byrnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09994151711253644372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-42982583622817773962007-04-25T23:44:00.000+10:002007-04-25T23:44:00.000+10:00Anzac Day post from a different angle.
