Grandpa Kent

Ernest James Kent was the sixth child of Richard and Sarah. Born in North Melbourne, in Victoria, in April of 1891, he died in Boronia, in Victoria, on the 26th April 1971.

I have now updated the page devoted to grandpa. I have included the full transcript of his extraordinary diary from 1916 when he was a soldier with the AIF on the Western Front. There is a series of his WWI photos illustrating this period. Also found here is his account of our family’s history, beginning with the arrival of our forebears in Melbourne at the time of the birth of our beautiful city.  Go to his page by clicking here:
