Anzac Day 2015
Once again made the trip from Ganmain to Batemans Bay in the truck and overnighted half way at Yass (Thanks Max and Kathy).
Biggest crowd ever for the day service I have seen and a fair amount for the dawn service. Our special bit is having breakfast back at the soldiers club with our Grandfather and his grandkids and great grandkids. A nip of rum for the old boy in his coffee and he was a very happy chappy. Grandpa's uncle (Pte Eric Long) had his right scapula blown to bits in the attack on Lone Pine. Amazingly, he survived, recovered in Alexandria and was invalided home to Australia.
