__________________ 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: #19 | I had the honour to sit next to Wg Cdr John Freeborn DFC* at an ACA dinner at RAF Woodvale. A very interesting man who flew more hours during the Battle than many (if any); few (if any) shot down more German aircraft during the Battle. He was in command of a Spitfire Wg in Italy at an early age; one of the youngest (if not the youngest) wartime wg cdr Spitfire pilot. It was a delight to have him on my station. Roxy
