Subject: Family of Robert (Bob) Hill, Pte, 60th Battalion, 1916-1918

I'm trying to trace the family of Robert (Bob) Hill. He was a private in the 60th Battalion, and I think his service number was 2479. He lost a leg and while in hospital in the UK struck up a friendship with my grandmother, Mary Blackstock, known as Blackie, who was sister on the ward. He wrote a series of letters to her, and sounds like a lovely bloke. I'd love his family to have the chance to read the letters, and I'd love to know how his life turned out after he got home, and if he married his girl.
