Hi all,

I'm sorry Frank. I apologise. I thought you knew Melbourne wasn't in South Africa.
I automatically posted in 'General Topics' on the South African site as most of my posts and queries are on the S.A. (South African) sight and most of my collection is South African.
I happened to be in Melbourne, Australia at the Shrine the day after Armistice Day and thought it might have been of general interest to post the images there.
I hope this helps to clear up your confusion.
