In memory……25th April – ANZAC DAY 2008

My grandmother lost her brother in Siam on the Burma railway in WWII – Private George Thomas Vidler.

My great uncle Private Frederick Shawman fought in the army in the trenches in France in WWI – I remember him as a quiet, kind soul and true gentleman…

Another great uncle – Arthur Gray – fought in New Guinea and was never the same.

A second cousin flew in the RAAF in Europe – Don Vidler and received the Distinguished Flying Cross.

My husband lost a great uncle on the western front in WWI – Private Emanuel Weir.

My husband’s father was named after his uncle – Emanuel Stephen Weir – he was in the RAAF in WWII.

He always was interested in the weather – particularly the clouds…he passed away in February 2006.

High Flight (an Airman’s Ecstasy)

…we will remember them…
