Remembrance Day in Albany WA
I am currently in Western Australia on a months trip visiting my son and famiy in Perth.
Whilst there, I decided to visit Albany on 11th November, hoping there would be a Remembrance Day Service/parade. I was there, there was and it was more than I could have hoped for, albeit a smallish event, there was a lot to witness. I think what made it for me was seeing the flags of Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain all at full mast, being placed at half mast and re-raised simultaneously. I had a fairly long chat with The Senior Officer present, Brigadier Amanda Williamson and her RSM and was invited to attend an after service get together at the RSL premises. I didn't go as I wanted to spend the rest of the day at The ANZAC museum, which I did and thoroughly enjoyed what I read and saw. All in all in great day out in Albany. I had intended putting a message on The Forum on the off chance that a Forum member would be in Albany that day, but lack of wifi prevented me. Fabulous memories of my visit to Australia. Regards.

Great to hear Brian. Always good to experience something that not only meets, but exceeds your expectations in a positive way.
Lest we forget. Cheers……John |
