Latest Stories
With these words, Robert Harley Wordsworth recalled his reaction to news of the outbreak of World War II in Europe in 1939, twenty-five years after he had enlisted, as a nineteen-year-old, in the 1st Light Horse and embarked for the Middle East in the first convoy of ships to depart Australia in 1914.
Born in Cowra in the latter part of the nineteenth century, he was to go on to lead an extraordinary life – as a military man, firstly in the Australian Army, before transferring to the (British) Indian Army where he progressed through the ranks to the rank of major-general in command of the 1st Armoured Division in the Middle East.
