Throughout our short history, we've had many heroes, some named and many others who served with anonymity. Most of us have no knowledge of Private James Martin.
Just a boy, with the fervour of a patriot and much older men. He was not the only youngster to enlist and end up in action during the first World War, but was the youngest.
As we near ANZAC Day, it's timely to remember James and the sacrifice he and his family made.
