Sentimental Sunday - An Autograph from my Uncle Ron (1901-1932)

Autograph to his sister Eileen Mary Brothers, 07 Jan 1925
I never knew my Uncle Ron, he died 8 years before I was born in a train accident in the Shunting Yards at Bunbury, West Australia. This is an entry in my mother's autograph book and is the only item we have of his that was personalised. None of us have a photo of him.
