- Thomas John Skeyhill (1895-1932) was born in 1895 to Annie and James Percy Skeyhill in Terang, Victoria. He was a signaler in the Australian Army in World War I. On 8 May, during the advance at Cape Helles, he was blinded by an exploding Turkish shell. He ghostwrote an account about Alvin York, which was later made into a movie of the same name in 1941. He was killed in a plane crash at Barnstable Municipal Airport and was buried with military honors in West Dennis, Massachusetts, where he had a summer home. “Halt! Thy tread is on heroes' graves Australian lads lie sleeping below: Just rough wooden crosses at their heads To let their comrades know. They'd sleep no better for marble slabs, Nor monuments so grand They lie content, now their day is done In that far-off foreign land.” Tom Skeyhill (en)
