I am affliated with the Katharine Sussanah Pritchard Writers Centre and a unique committee has been formed to write a book about Blackboy Hill Training Camp to be launched on the centenary of the ANZACS in 2015.
Not only am I on the committee but I am currently researching a fremantle boy by the name of Percy Willis who trained at Blackboy Hill and served on the Western Front. I am hoping you may have some information/links about him, possible photographs and information of where he would have enlisted to serve.
Your support in this matter would be very grateful.
I look forward to hearing from you very soon.
Thank you and regards,
