| Thank's and Thanks to all.
Just got back to the site and was rather overcome by the responses.
Cheers too all!
I got the patches made up by Burridge Milatary Antique's under $10.
I have reams and a computer full of pics of Weary and writings by Dad, Donald "Scorp"Stuart it was Donald who was also Dads best mate and whom I remember well who wrote " We Built a Railway from near Bangkok to near Rangoon....thousands of us POWS starved scourged,racked with malaria,dysentary,beriberi,pellagra and the stinking tropical ulcers that a leg to the bone... when despair and death reached for us Weary stood fast, a lighthouse of sanity in a universe of madness and suffering, Dad used to acuse Scorp of tugging his forlock when Weary's name was mentioned and this was a pretty big thing to say to Scorp who did'nt get the name Scorp for his poetry > Scorps father was Julian Stuart one of the ring leaders of the famous shearers strike and the Stuarts were taught to despised all authority.
Also I found some notes on the beheadings written by dad and it makes for pretty grueling stuff, a few Dutch were among the party and one even spat in his executioners eye so was bayoneted instead after a hour or so he told them he was'nt dead and was promptly dispatched with a pistol shot to the head and it goes on like that.
Not sure if I would want to hear about any of that if it was my Dad.
Also I have a slide show that dad used to give called the Quietlion yes same name as Dads documentry but I was wondering if anyone knows how I could upload it to a site where it can be viewed free?
Thanks again every one |
