-
"Frank Kemp was born in 1896 at Mortdale in South Western Sydney adjacent to Peakhurst, named after his great grandfather John Robert Peake. Frank moved with his parents to the coastal plateau district of Dorrigo in May, 1905 to a farm alongside Dangar Falls and across Bielsdown Creek from the Gater family who had settled there 7 year earlier. The Kemp family were joined in Dorrigo the following year by his mother's brothers, Alf and Warr Peake, Watt more of a brother than an uncle. ... Frank was killed in front of Estrees on the Beaurevoir line in the last engagement of the 20th Battalion on 3rd October, 1918. He missed surviving the wary by half a day! This is Frank's story..."--Back cover.
