I don't mind one bit milo, i was feeling kind of sad when i posted this, i was looking at a photo of my father and two uncles this morning in uniform and off to fight in ww2. Both uncles were killed in Africa, i never got to meet them and my dad was wounded on create and was among the last to leave. He made it home but was never the same again.

Went to Kooralbyn to see my Grandson march with his school. There were nearly 150 attendees. Great to see a turn out like this for such a day as this.

Attended march today to help my mate up the ramp to the cenotaph for the laying of the wreath.
Concur about the school children and younger folk.
We now have to "borrow" four young gentlemen from a private school here in Hobart to carry our banner.
They do the task willingly and with dignity.
I noticed today that some of the banners that announced the "older" campaigns had either nobody behind them or young children proudly wearing the medals of their grandfathers and great grandfathers.
There has been some debate about letting these "outsiders" march.
My opinion is that if we don't let these people march, who will be left "to remember them?"
Lest we forget!

Margaret and I attended the Dawn Service on Tarawa in Kiribati. Being on the site of a major battle took the emotional aspect of the service up one full notch for us. Tarawa was the site of a major conflict in November 1943 when 1,700 US Marines amd 4,500 defending Japanese troops lost their lives in 3 days. The physical reminders of that battle still remain.
Cheers, Peter

So much history around the islands Peter. I was hoping to get to the Solomons with the job this year but it all fell through.
Pauline and I went to Perth for Easter to see the kids and grandkids. I took my uniform and marched with the local coppers at Mandurah. Good turnout and a real nice memorial park next to the inlet. Unfortunately the message didn't get through to all as the bloke running the amusement park next door thought it was fine to have the music from the carnival attractions going full volume during the procedings. Just another holiday to some.
