He did his time in detention and the whole process only took about 3 months - not years - because he had his identification with him.
He is now an Australian Citizen and calls Australia home.
At the dawn service for ANZAC day this year, I will proudly be wearing the medals of my relatives from the 1st and 2nd World Wars,
and my own Service Medals.
Lest We Forget.
