Hear the story of WA gunner Fred Johnson, who played a part in some of the greatest battles of the First World War.

Our presenter for this session is Chris Handley.

Bunbury teacher Fred Johnson fought in the artillery at some of the most infamous battles of the war to end all wars. Although he bore the physical and mental toll of his experiences for the rest of his life, he seldom spoke of his service.

Historian Chris Handley dedicated years to piecing together the full story of Fred's war, which he published in his 2015 book, Yours Truly Came Up Smiling.

Free entry, RSVPs via Eventbrite are encouraged.

When: Sunday 28 July 2024, 1.30pm to 2.30pm
Where: Bunbury Museum and Heritage Centre, 1 Arthur St, Bunbury WA 6230, Australia
