Gravestone of Vasilios, known as Bill Gengos, located in Moree, NSW, Australia. Bill's gravestone also tells the tragic tale of the death of his son, William, a WWII pilot, presumed shot down over Tobruk, on the 12th August, 1942, at the tender age of 26 years. [For two (2) RAAF photographs taken shortly before William's tragic death see Photography Diaspora - subsection - Vintage Portraits/People. Thank you to Peter Tsicalas, Inverell, for locating these photographs at the AWM.] Perhaps his descendants can provide us with more complete life histories, for both Bill (Senior), and William Gengos? The gravestone photograph was taken by Peter McCarthy - known in Greek circles as Panayoti Makarthis. His "purachoukli" is "skoulandris", and his place of origin is Makarthiathika.
