Tetbury during WW1

[lexy]

Hello
I'm trying to trace my great grand father, John McDonald, who was an Anzac with the Australian Flying Corps based in Tetbury, Leighteron and Minchinhampton during WW1. He met and became engaged to my great grand mother Alice Annie Barnes who was working as a nurse in the locality. Unfortunately, John died in 1919 of Spanish Flu before they could marry and without seeing his daughter.
Does anyone know of local records, archives etc that may help with my search?

Hi John,
I know your enquiry in respect of Anzac fliers has been here for quite a long time. I can remember that back in the 1940's my Grandmother used to cycle to Leighterton Church to place flowers on an Australian grave. I have no knowledge of the actual grave, but I should guess there are Church records that could be researched. From time to time, during WW2 she quite often received a food parcel from a family named GOLDING or GOULDING. I also remember her telling me little anecdotes of the Australians during WW1.
I hope the above is of some help.

Hello Cliff,

I hadn't spotted the request either !

If anyone else is seeking info regarding WW1 Anzacs I would direct them to the World War 1 Forum.
