| Personal Notes: |
|
'During the enemy attack on the front line facing QUEANT on 15th May 1917, Private Buckley, whilst acting as a stretcher bearer showed great courage and devotion to duty. Although under direct enemy observation, he carried out his duties for 17 hours continuously without rest, and in a manner worthy of the highest commendation. Although an untrained stretcher bearer, he, together with the rest of the bearing party, saved by first aid the lives of seriously wounded men. The Commanding Officer of the 54th Battalion wrote an appreciative letter for the help given, specially mentioning the stretcher bearing party for their good work.'

About 1921 the families moved into Sunnyslope, Nimmitabel near the railway, taking over the house from John and Mary Eliza, his brother and wife. Jim died at Sunnyslope in 1941. Nellie went to Queanbeyan and lived with her family there, and then returned to Nimmitabel where she lived (where Summerells now live). She died in Queanbeyan in 1948 Submitted 24 April 2022 by Lynette Turner |
