A Mother's Lament: An ANZAC story




In 1883 the Renshaw family, John Charles, his pregnant wife Sarah, their four-year-old son Peter, and baby James were leaving England. On the way to Australia, baby Joseph was born aboard shop and baby James died. They undertook a journey that would change their lives; little did they know that their family would become part of Australia’s ANZAC legacy.
