Memorials and Honour Roles

[Wayne McGee]

Mark: Thank-you for your intrest in a subject so far from your home.
Clive: Thanks for posting that site.

After taking a quick peek at the Truro Cenotaph on the site that Clive posted, I see that the most recent additions have not been made.
Three members of the Canadian Forces who were killed in Afghanistan had their names placed on the Cenotaph at a rededication ceremony held on 26 NOV 07.
They are:
WO Frank Mellish
Sgt Darcy Tedford
and one of my former troops, and friend,
Cpl Chris Reid
I hope they are the last, but someone had the foresight to ensure there was plenty of blank space in that collum.
Mark, the Parade position adopted by both Cenotaphs (Tasmanian and Truro) is called "Rest on your arms, reversed". Recognized Commonwealth wide, if not globally, as the armed soldier taking a brief moment to pause, remember, and mourn before stepping off, back in to harms way.
Thanks again.

Cheers
