Oscar Thomas Dunn
Oscar Thomas Dunn's father was Thomas Dunn (1859 - 1942) and his mother was Mary Alice Curry (1859 - 1932), born in England. He had siblings Thomas, Albert, Gwendoline Alice, Lily, Frederick, Gwendoline Eliza, Norman, Edmund, plus one more sister whose name is unknown. Oscar served in the Fifth Light Horse squadron and was the eldest son in the family. Two brothers also served: Norman and Frederick. Oscar was a farmer, who, in conjunction with a younger brother, selected land at Taabinga, where he had resided up to the time of his enlistment. Oscar was killed at the battle of Gallipoli, Turkey, at the age of 25. (An estimated 27,000 French, and 115,000 British and dominion troops - Great Britain and Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Newfoundland - were killed or wounded at Gallipoli.) See his Memorial at Oscar Thomas Dunn: Obituary, and a photo of his gravesite at Private Oscar Thomas Dunn Gravesite. His headstone is inscribed as follows: AS HE LIVED SO HE DIED A MAN RESPECTED BY ALL

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
