E-BLAST - 23 APRIL 2017

ANZAC Day is Tues 25 April. The photo is Mark preaching at Anzac Cover at Gallipoli in 1999 with three coach loads of an InnerF aith Travel tour in which Mark was a tour guide. In 2010 on a Country Town Tour in Albany WA we were shown where our troops left Australian waters for WWI. 60,000 did not return out of a population of 7.4m. Little wonder Australia commemorates such matters. Many of you have your own military family stories. My maternal grand father Harry Davis won a DSO in the trenches and in 2016 transferred to the Royal Flying Corps as so many pilots and observers had been killed. Two years later as a war pilot after the Armistice he himself was killed in a training flight and is buried in the Cologne Imperial War Cemetery. My sister visited the grave and we have a photo. My mother was in the womb.
