You're Top Poster: #3   | Welcome Hugh, Good to have you on board. Tell us a bit more about yourself and your interests.
__________________ 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: #4  | Like i worry about hijacking a thread.... Mike, if there are no photos or family history bits to put into a page, replace them with regimental/ship/Squadron emblems. that'll fill a space nicely and provide colour. Leave them all open so anyone with more images info can get in touch and have these added in and so the genealogical area grows. Will you have links from a casualty's page to maybe a photo of a family grave back home where they are commemorated? Whilst getting the grave photos for you i have come across at least as many commemorations on family graves as actual burials, and those iron crosses in Derbyshire. Found another of them today! Just one thing I would suggest about the banner at the top, change the poppies. Make them more striking and less distorted. Otherwise brilliant.
