Joan’s father William Montgomery (far right)
Joan’s father William Montgomery (far right) enlisted with the First AIF and was twice wounded. He wrote of his experience during a battle at Estrees, north of Hamel — “I felt a kick in my right arm and it became limp as a rag with no power in the hand … Stuck my rifle into the ground, butt up—the wounded signal—in case I should fade right out.”
