Hi Marie-Anne,
He was Harry Powis, originally born in England, but left for Australia just before WWI I think. Joined teh AIF, was injured and ended up here in Weymouth to recover, then after meeting and marrying my grandmother and fathering 2 children, he returned to Australia, which is where I managed to find his trail. I think your grandmothers family befriended him and looked after him until he died. He's buried in Melbourne and I'm trying to work out a way to get any more info about him, his life or photos of where he lived, who with and his burial place.
I would so love it if you had any info at all. He has been such a hidden character in my research that anything would be great.
Thanks for getting in touch.
Sue
