Thanks for your kind comments Norm . I was feeling a bit emotional when I made that last post as our national day of rememberance [ANZAC Day]is coming up on April 25th , the day we went ashore at Gallipoli.

This year will be extra special for me as I have been asked to march with my late Uncles Squadron Association , the 466 Halifax bomber squadron.

This will be a great honour and privilage. My Uncle was lost when bailing out of a stricken Halifax over the north sea in March 1945 . Age 21 , just 6 weeks before the war ended .He was my fathers younger brother , and it had a profound and lasting effect on my family.

Hardly anyone in the squadron association is under 85 , so they welcome the interest and support of family members.

Please do post up that fellows name and I will see what I can find out about it .

kind regards .
