Memorial Dedication for Lieutenant Colonel Robert Garrick Wilson

On Remembrance Day, a Memorial Stone was unveiled by Wilson’s granddaughter, Margaret Nihill at the Soldier’s Memorial, Church Street, Whittlesea. This was held to recognise and unveil the Memorial and to Commemorate the dedicated service of previously forgotten Whittlesea resident, Robert Garrick Wilson for his selfless service to his country during the First World War, even to the extent of his own death which occurred in Egypt during the ceremony at the Official Opening of the Canteen on 9th February 1916.
We thank Lindsay Mann, WHS life member for his research and work associated with the day.
