local\u00a0portrait.<\/p>\n<p>Latham,\u00a0whose father farmed at Redgate, earned his Military Medal when he rushed forward under fire and threw a Mills bomb (hand grenade) into a shell hole where German riflemen had been shooting at fellow Diggers.\u00a0He later served in World War II, farmed at Goomeribong and Stonelands and at one stage ran a cafe in Goomeri.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition was
