WW1 Aussies in Brightlingsea Essex
If there is any body on here in Australia who had relations in WW1 who came
to Brightlingsea, Essex to train, thought this might be of interest.

Re: WW1 Aussies in Brightlingsea Essex
Strange that everybody can get it but me, even though I put it on,
think I'll go back to my semaphore days in the sea cadets, might have a bit more success.
Will try this, and see what happens. !!!!

Re: WW1 Aussies in Brightlingsea Essex
Tonight on our ABC's 7.30 report the 70th Anniversary of D Day in France. Wars to end all wars come and go and this is just a speck in the overview of the courage, bravery, suffering and kindness of the men and women - and children - during those fearsome times.
