RE: Farewell - "Fair Winds and Following Seas"

in #qurator6 years ago

Hi Joan. I haven't been to a shell hole in years and know the M.O.T.H groups are still strong. i did my national Service on the Bluff and know that place like the back of my hand. A great way to send off a family member.

Sort:  

Sad to see many buildings now run down, hopefully some day soon they will be restored to their former glory at the base.

His send off was exactly what he would have wanted, very glad we were able to do what he requested.

M.O.T.H. Shellholes are not growing with young blood which is sad, we grew up with my Dad being a member, serving in WWII. Christmas parties, fetes, dances, parades every year, it was very much part of our days growing up.
