My Grandfather, on the left in the bottom photo served with AIF 2nd Pioneers Signals through the Somme and following campaigns. His brother was a veteran of Gallipoli, and listed as a charger at Beersheba. Thankyou for honouring their memories with your talk of mateship in the services, I know it was important to them.
This article well encapsulates the essence of being an Aussie. And we do like to take the piss out of authority.
Lest we forget.
We shall remember.
