My great grandad died when i was 16. Original ANZAC and all

My grandfather was the Anzac. He served in both world wars. He passed away before I was born, though.

He was an absolute larrikin, there are loads of stories about him. He was famous in his hometown, is mentioned in its history etc.

I'd share highlights, but it'd probably doxx me. 😂
