You're Top Poster: #2 | Indeed do. A lot of effort has been made to get the collection online and you will find phenomenal photos throughout - some very poignant ones too - not just WWII of course.

You're Top Poster: #3 | Australians - Tobruk - Long Time Overseas Service By 5th October 1942, the Australian troops had notched up 1,000 days overseas service. Quote:
__________________ Spidge, ------------------------------------------------------- My Avatar is the memorial to the 22 Commonwealth Coastwatchers at the Temakin Cemetery on Betio (Tarawa Atoll) who were beheaded by the Japanese on 15th October 1942. http://www.dva.gov.au/media/publicat...mem_beito.html "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
