Ah, thanks for posting the photo of Connor. He looks like a really nice lad - and very proud.

Interesting mentioning the Australian Navy.. My Poppa served in British Navy during the war (2nd) and then after de-mob... Joined the Australian Navy and we all went to live out there -- I travelled back to Uk on a Naval ship in the 50's  full of lovely sailors.. but I was only around 6.. so didnt fully appreciate them.  But they sure did look after me and my sister.

do you remember the name of the ship? ;)

Uhm  now then I have a couple of pics somewhere... I think one of the ships we were on was the Asturias... will go and see...
Yes think we came back on the Asturias   and we went out on the Iberia...
here are a couple of pics.

I have my Pops Medals and am saving them for my Youngest Grandson  as that is what Poppa wanted.
