Thank you so much for making these photos available. I'm a Kiwi in Australia and may not get to Balclutha. Corporal R. V. (Rhyl Vaughan)Fleming (listed here) was my father's uncle. He was born at Lytleton on 16/12/1887. Rhyl was a Stock Buyer in Balclutha at time of enlistment in WW1. He was 'killed in action in the field' on 15/11/16 on the Somme aged 28 and is buried in Cite Bonjean Cemetery, Armentieres Nord, France. He is commemorated, along with his brother Mostyn, on their father's grave in the Balclutha Cemetery of which I have a photo (prev. known as Clutha Ferry or The Ferry Cemetery). Mostyn (from Alexandra) died in the attack on Belle Vue Spur on 12/10/1917. Mostyn's name is on the Alexandra memorial - I have a photo so it was great to see this one here.
Regards,
Frances
