Personal Stories
Bobby Dalliston
Fondly known as Bobby to his family. Bobby was the youngest son of the family who resides in Orange NSW. Bobby’s mother was said to have lost the will to live after Bobby’s was killed in action in Korea - Bobby’s death broke her heart
Bobby was killed in action in the same month this photograph was taken.
My mother Pamela Allen (nee Dalliston) and my Aunt Elaine Bonhame (nee Dalliston) remember Bobby prior to his death.
