A sad week
Last week i had two funerals the first one was my brother in law a ex MN man him and i was great mates and we both lost our wives at the same time
The other funeral was a exNZ POW Russel Geeves both of us served on the committee for many years in fact we was the last two ex pow*s in Dunedin so that makes me the last pow here
I have said this before the NZ ex POW association was one of the best things i did when i joined it a great bunch of guys
