“Challenging Times”

A book by Betty E. Mathews.

Betty is the grand daughter of George Henry Perrin and Aura Marie Constance (nee McMillan), the daughter of George William Wharton and Lina Iris Mona (nee Perrin) and my first cousin once removed.

Her book, 10 years in the making, stretches 436 pages and includes hundreds of photos from the WW11 era. It is widely aclaimed and going into a second print.

It was a project supported by the Create N. S. W. Cultural Grants program, a devolved funding program administered by the Royal Australian Historical Society on behalf of the N. S. W. Government.

Donna Newton (Librarian) of The Royal Australian Historical Society magazine “History” provides the following precis in its June 2024 (P20) publication.

The Deniliquin War Cemetery contains over 30 burials of RAAF aircrew, most of whom died in air training accidents on Wirraways. All feature in this book.
