You're Top Poster: #3   | Australian Aborigine in the Korean War
__________________ 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?

You're Top Poster: #1  | It is a sad story. Some parts echo across veterans of any nationality and every nationality and ethnci group. But some parts highlight how certain minorities are forgotten and not given their due respect. I found this the saddest part: Quote:

You're Top Poster: #5  | Very interesting story and one that is at the same time a sad indictment about the treatment of monorities!
