What a fabulous story ... one to rival the Are you sitting comfortably thread on the Lancashire board for shear dedication ! I am a restorer from the Photo Board and would be happy to offer my services, as Lones has ,to tidy fix, restore any photos ..I am happy to have a scan of up to 10 mbs sent to my email address to ensure a better quality pic as the ceiling on the file size on RC of 500kbs does not always allow us to produce the best quality restore.

I can imagine it would be a very moving time for you Dee.
The whole place has such atmosphere.

Oh Barbara, that is very true, all three times I have been able to get there I have not been able to stop the tears, it it just so compelling... is that the word. The atmosphere is just overwhelming.
It makes you stop and think and take stock of all those men and women too who gave their lives so that we Australians live in freedom and comfort in the greatest country on earth ( in my humble opinion).
regards Jenn

Hi all. I haven't posted for a while but I still have been reading the thread with much interest. My family has not been able to organise a time to catch up with Nick Lynch yet.
Dee, thank you so much for placing the poppy next to Uncle Charlie's name. That was really thoughtful. SBS tv station have been in contact again and are still looking at doing a documentary on this amazing story. It may not be until next year though. Very excited to hear that another relative of Uncle Charlies has posted on the thread. I am looking forward to contacting Tricia. Great work everyone. Anne.

Good to hear from you again, Anne. 
Placing a poppy by your Uncle Charlie's name was a priority of my visit. I was just sad that Alfred Parr's name was up too high.
Hope the documentary does eventuate ......there'll be a lot of Rootschatters wanting to see it if it does.......

Have been reading this with fascination, and much admiration for the many people who have gone above and beyond the call, to research the story!
Would love to get the link to the Australian War Memorial request for photographs of those listed on the Rolls of Honour (noticed it earlier, but can't find it, now  ; - hubby's cousin is there, having been the first officer (albeit "acting" captain) killed in Vietnam. It may be, however, that they already have his photo, since a copy of it exists in the National Archives. 
Again, well done, all you rootsdetectives! I've just realised how many hours it's taken me to read this all the way through LOL
