Halesowen lads who joined the Anzacs.

[MarkCDodd]

Expat66 was asking about his relative who were born in England but fought as an Anzac during WW1.

There were over 11000 London born lads who signed up with the Anzacs!!

I was curious as to how many Black Country lad signed up with the Anzacs.

First Black Country town I looked up was Halesowen and there were 5 listed.

One of them is Charles Nyles Cutler, son of this Joseph Cutler.
