In 1943 my Dad flew from Iran down to Cairo in a C-47. When they landed, he noticed a big chunk on the wing's leading edge was missing and asked the pilot if it was flak damage. The pilot replied " Naw...hit a buzzard over the desert."

9th November 1937: A mason cements blocks of stone into position, carved with the names of the fallen, in the military ceremony at Villiers-Bretonneux, near Amiens. The memorial is the Australian National Memorial, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, and the names of the 10,860 Australians who have no known grave in France will be carved on it. Completion is expected in spring 1938.
