Just one slight correction to the information you have posted. Peter Roache was married to Edith (dec). They had one daughter Maureen, who married Robert Henry Lee. Who now live in Australia. They Have two sons Barry and Kevin. Kevin's eldest son is a member of the South Australian Legion Cadets and will be wearing his great grandfather's (Peter Roache) medals in this years ANZAC Day dawn service and march. He is the only person to ever wear them. We all know both his great grandparents (Peter and Edith) would be just as proud of him as we all are. RIP Grandad, Kevin.Kevin Leenoreply@blogger.com
