Served 2310 days, 709 days on home soil and 1328 days overseas in the Middle East, Europe and New Guinea,  I was entrusted with his war photo album which i go thru every Anzac day so i included a couple of photos of him at work he was a gunner . Lost the FIL not long ago, he was a great mate that served in the South Pacific, NZ Navy, first Anzac day without him

Thinking of the both of them and all their mates
