ANZAC DAY BRISBANE
25 APRIL 2009
I had the honour again today to march with the veterans of 460 Squadron RAAF. My late father-in-law, John Goulevitch, was a member of 460 Squadron RAAF.
After the march the 460 Squadron group traditionally retires to the Irish Club in Elizabeth Street, for a meal and few friendly drinks to remember their mates who did not return.
This is what it's all about - Mateship
