My dear old Dad:
RE:My father: I should share his memory with you all in Britain and across the World. For he was also a British sailor, discharge number 766789 and I will have in a way given him that trip home. Richard.
I feel we should be thanking you for sharing this.
Thanks Keith.

Re: the song Waltzing Matilda, of the Australians in 1915 in Gallipoli.
The Film Galliopoli has just been on TV on Film 4, in UK. Mel Gibson, and Co.
Good views of Western Australia , the Pyramids and then the trenches in Gallipoli, and Generals from behind the lines just sending men over the top and being wiped out.
.
I heard an Ausie Soldier say many years ago when I was on the `GEORGIC` .
"If there`s a life that follers this,
If there`s a Golden Gate,
The only words I want to hear
Is, "Good on yer Mate."
never forgot it.
Cheers
Brian.
