As I mentioned Dad served WW11 up at Darwin with the 13/30 sqadron which shared personel, He was a radio operator during the Bombing of Darwin, at the 40 mile airstrip Sth of Darwin
Extremely proud of him born 1919 passed 2003. Just wish I could get his service medals for my boys 26/21," we will remember them"
Shite I miss him and mum, especially this time of year
I would have thought that any compensation that has to be paid to any assault victims should be paid out of the guilty persons super annuation and entitlements... Then, and only then topped up by the Guv (which is you and me).
If these assaults are happening, and I am sure that they are, they must be stopped....... And the perpetrators punished....
Not sure if you're aware of this book mate, it was written by my wife's uncle, Jack Mulholland, who sadly passed away this year.
There's also an interview recorded by the ABC in February this year of Jack and a Japanese fighter pilot of the time.
We have a spare copy of his book that I'd be happy to send to you if you have trouble getting a copy. However it's packed away in one of 50 some boxes we have already packed ready for our move next year so you'd have to wait for a bit :)
Hey Guys,
Not a service man myself, but had two great uncles(twin boys) who spent their 16th birthday on the Gallipoli peninsula, and appreciate every day, what they stood for.
If you are interested in a great read, look for a copy of They Dared Mightily(Lionel Wigmore) - it's a history of V.C.s awarded over the years(with how they were awarded), inspiring stuff and bloody scary as I sit back and think where I was as a teen and what these blokes did a million miles from home and just kids.
Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year to all our past and current serving MEN and WOMEN.

To all the service men and women, here and overseas, have a merry Xmas and safe new year.
