Hi All
Let's commemorate our loved ones or ancestors who gave their lives so that we could be free to follow all the wonderful pursuits that are available to us today.

As a heading mine would be: ANZAC DAY - Jim WILSON, Bill HAAR. We can take this through the week to the 29th.

Commemorating my cousin JAMES ALEXANDER THOMAS (Jimmy) WILSON, 4th Anti-tank Regiment Burma, POW, who fought for his freedom by escaping with 7 of his mates and paid the penalty with them by being executed at Tavoy June 6 1942.

Commemorating my great uncle CHARLES WILLIAM HENRY (Bill) HAAR, Lance Corporal 22nd Battalion AIF who gave his life for his country at Zonnebeke Belgium, October 4, 1917. Bill was sent home unfit for service, but then re-enlisted.

LEST WE FORGET.
