25.01.2022 G'day all. Sorry no posts over last few weeks. I'v sourced my vehicle to take the exhibition around Australia. I've also got the bits and pieces to launch the supporters group this coming Friday. Watch this space....

25.01.2022 Yesterday I attended the Freedom of Entry ceremony in Albany for 11/28 Battalion. It was by far the best I had ever experienced (including the one I was part of... in Perth city during the early 80's) Words escape me to describe just how good it was (plus I would bore any readers because I would end up going on too much). Congratulations should go to both RSM 13 Brigade and Simone Klose of City Of Albany for their incredible work. I spoke to Simone last night about her learning curve in learning to speak Army. I've also included a pic of the panel for Charles Pope VC (11 Battalion 1917) that is part of The ANZAC Victoria Cross Story exhibition. See more

23.01.2022 Last night I delivered my first ever Masonic VC presentation to the Albany lodges. It covered all Australia and New Zealand Victoria Cross recipients and I told stories about each one. I also included some of the VC's that emigrated to Australia. As I travel Australia and hopefully New Zealand over the next few years, I will be presenting this to lodges whenever I can. As well as an electronic presentation I also showed them all some VC memorabilia including my special VC rep...lica made by Ron Davis. Meanwhile work is underway for my book on the topic. See more

21.01.2022 These arrived over the last couple of days. The magazines are from Canada and are amazing. The book is going to be a big help in an airforce VC project I am doing early next year.

18.01.2022 I've spent the last few weeks finishing off the Wall of Valour (to a state it can presented anyhow). A week or so ago my long suffering wife came home (from the tourist apartments she works at) and asked me if I had ever heard of Arthur Sullivan. I said yes, leant back and pulled his display panel out if the rack. Apparently she had been speaking about what I am doing to a client who said he was related to Arthur. I was so excited I wanted to show him the panel. Unfortunately, he was leaving early the next day. So, I took it down straight away to show him. We had a good chat about Arthur. The bloke he was travelling with was linked to Bede Kenny VC. Photo attached is Ken Sullivan, 2nd Cousin to Arthur Sullivan VC.

09.01.2022 GWN7 News did a piece on me a couple of nights ago. https://youtu.be/BsrZBmS83ZI?t=599

06.01.2022 G’day all Finally, the shirts arrived and so I can now launch Club 123 Friends Of The ANZAC Victoria Cross Story. Select your favourite recipient, unit or period to sponsor that person. When you become a member for $123 ($1 per VC recipient), your receive a bunch of gifts to the value of about $65. The remainder goes direct into transport and maintenance costs for the exhibition as it travels Australia and New Zealand. In the case where funds raised exceeds needs, the surp...lus will be donated to Cams Cause to help returned soldiers with the many issues they have on return home. Simply fill in the form, pay membership cost and send doc to me. Thank you in advance, for your support. See more

04.01.2022 Last week I put The ANZAC Victoria Cross Story exhibition out. The plan was that I would put everything out. The room was 180sqm and I had to leave out 20 framed pieces, 2 display tables and 10 pull up banners. It was a bit disappointing that u didn't fit.in but I did learn a lot I need to know before going on the road. The Wall Of Valour looked amazing. Although I had to double up a bit. I was 9 metres short of wall space. I did it to test it out before travelling and tak...e promo photos. I had about 40 visitors to the building who went through it. They were visitors to the club that came in for a gander. I also did a presentation to Rotary the previous night. See more
