My opinion is. Yes it was a set up by the Pro Palistianine Groups. That as soon as Israeli Commandos landed they were attacked. I can visualise that Israel will do whats within its power to seize shipments suspect of being used as a cover to import weapons into Gaza. I agree that even the...

G'day Matt. As I said have been busy. Hope things are going well with you Matt

I wish I could tell you Oggie. I am going of memory. Dad served in various Bases at any given time. Malaysia and Singapore being part of SEATO at the time was part of Australian Deployment and postings. What he was doing in Changi I can only guess as was part of his duties. If I could get hold...

My condolances to our fellow ANZACs in New Zealand and to their families. LEST WE FORGET

. But that was Dad. Just another Aussie Serving his Country. And we miss him. Just as we miss Mum equally

That Sys was only part of my Father's career as best as I can recall. When the day of Dad's Funeral his coffin had the Australian Flag Australian Wattles A Slouch Hat and RAAF Cap on his coffin. There were 350 Members of the Return Services League (RSLA) at the funeral and a Messages of...

Last movie I saw was The Hurt Locker. I enjoyed it. Next one I want to see in Beneath Hill 60. And I missed The Pacific Television Series due to work but will definitely get the series when its released to DVD.

Dad had also Served in the Middle East as well as North Africa with the Australian 6th Division 2nd AIF and later Port Moresby Papua New Giunea with the Army. At a later stage by 1943 he had volunteered to train as Air Crew. And was trained at Evan's Heads NSW as an Air Gunner. Training in...

But before I have My Father's Medals wall mounted I will also have the Medals professional cleaned and some of the Ribbons replaced

Excuse my absence once more again. But since I last posted on the site. I have been busy once more. Not with just work but also I have taken up Indoor Pistol Shooting as a sport and a form of relaxation and stress relief. Also been getting into politics more. And my brother passed away last...

There are altogether 3 Drawings that my Friend has found. Bombing Hiroshima and Cologne. Of these I have not seen so I can only presume what quality they are in. I had advised my work mate to contact some one skilled in preserving these drawings by his father. From what I understand Work Mates...

Mate took a digital photo of the drawing and transferred it to A4 on his scanner. I tried enhancing the copy as best I could on my own scanner. Hope you can make it out

Thanks for the advice. Was thinking contacting local art supply stores to gain advice on protecting the paper and the drawings themselves. As soon as I get a copy of those drawings I will definitely place them on website. But I also have to ensure I have my friends permission to do so. I have...
