Anzac Day 2014 Remembering Sergeant Charles Stokes
We had some recent guests to No.fifty6 whose trip to The Somme had been a long time in the planning. Geoff Tilley and Naomi Stokes from Bunbury, Western Australia, knew that they had a special family connection to The Somme and set about planning their trip that would culminate with them taking part in the Anzac Day commemorations this year. The plans for their trip saw them visit Canberra and meet with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs to help piece together a special commemoration as part of the Dawn Service on Anzac Day. The final part of their trip was to be in France for Anzac Day.
