The bloke in the pic above is possibly an ex 19 year old vet from the Kokoda Track. Or maybe Milne Bay or even Tobruk.

My FiL had his 37th birthday in Tobruk!

Many on this forum would have no idea what that means.OC

There's no need to sound so superior about it.

Some of us wear our scars in silence.

Scars dishonourably received, in your case, Herbie! By your own admission, you've never contributed a single day back to the society you live amongst. Never even volunteered one, let alone worn a uniform and taken up a weapon and helped defend your adopted land! Roll Eyes

I think you may be responding to the wrong post, that didn't make any sense at all.

Modesty has always forbidden me to boast about my many achievements both mundane and spiritual. I prefer to remain the quintessential 'Quiet Achiever'. In certain hallowed places my name is mentioned in respectful whispers, with awed recitings of my many heroic deeds.

But enough of me.

Let's move on, Brian.

How's the weather where you are? Cool

I repeat ~ The Old C shouldn't try to make cheap capital out of a relative's time in the military.

The factory workers of Australia may not be a glamorous lot, but they spend the best years of their life on production lines producing an export market that keeps this country 'First World'.

Not all Australia's 'heroes' wear a military uniform.

Herb sounds like another loudmouthed keyboard war hero.

These dickheads always get caught out, professing tales of glories past, that only happened in their own minds.

Here's a few of his 'mates'.

Fine. No fires. Herbie, we both know you've admitted in the past that you have never contributed anything to your adopted society beyond what you've paid in taxes. The only fight you've been a veteran of was in your dorm at your boarding school in the UK! Grin
