George Arthur Dean

George Arthur Dean, 2nd Battalion, No.230 was a soldier who like many others went aboard to serve their country. He was one of many who jumped off a boat and onto the sands of what we now know as ANZAC Cove on April 25th. He is also the grandfather and great grandfather of Rob Dean and Elliot Dean-Tasker.
It is an amazing moment for our family’s history to be the first two to go back and visit Gallipoli and the Western Front. Running through Europe, with a stone from the shores of ANZAC Cove and a relative beside you is a surreal experience; setting foot on the land that our fore fathers ran over some 93 years, where George Arthur Dean fought and survived.
