My dad
Enlisted June 1940 discharged Sept 1946. Served 2310 days, 709 days on home soil and 1328 days overseas in the Middle East, Europe and New Guinea,  I was entrusted with his war photo album which i go thru every Anzac day so i included a couple of photos of him at work he was a gunner . Lost the FIL not long ago, he was a great mate that served in the South Pacific, NZ Navy, first Anzac day without him

Thinking of the both of them and all their mates

Sorry they are sideways, don't know how to turn them
