Historical information

There is an Alexis Harold Safstrom No 1723, 38th Batt 1st reinforcements then 59th Batt. He was WIA twice and discharged on 31.8.1919.
There are two Woodheads with an initial L. This is possibly L.H.B Woodhead No 728, 8th Batt then late in the war 25th Batt. He was WIA twice coming home late 1918. The colour patch on the uniform is possibly 8th Batt.
Safstrom was from Heathcote which fits in with the donor of the items Mrs May Burns.
Woodhead was from Mildura. The only connection could be that they were both in England at the same time the card was written.
