To all our friends "down under",
Dawn sevices and midday parades in honor of all Anzac soldiers who have gone and those still among us.
May God shed his grace on you.

Lest We Forget!

Just had a busy day putting on an arms collectors display at Adelaide River township, the site of our war cemetary and cenataph about an hour south of Darwin. We had around 60 military firearms on public display, including a Colt 1911 .45 that was a battlefield pickup at Kapyong, by one of our club members! He took it off a dead Chinese soldier at the time...
Don Davie was a corporal in Korea, a close friend and good mate, now passed on to his reward. He is greatly missed, especially on this day when we often had breakfast together at the RSL following the dawn service.
Farewell old mate.
Lest we forget.

O&BTW, Don was a serious Collingwood fan, so he'll have a big smile on his dial after yesterday's result!

G'Day Fella's,

Good to see!

Marrakai, Don Davie was obviously a man of Impeccable Taste, in the sporting arena!

To our friends, relatives, and comrades in arms, our deepest respect for those that have served, and those that have paid the ultimate price so those left behind may live in peace and freedom.... May god be with you.

G'Day Again,

Here's another video.
Well worth a watch, as an insight into how you could have ended up in Vietnam back then.

G'Day Fella's,

Iowa_303, a good mate of mine that was over there, sent it to me.
He told me that the author of that video and he, were both Medi-Vaced out on the same aircraft.
I hope you enjoyed it.

Regards
Homer
