Lest We Forget

They shall not grow old
as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the
sun, and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest we forget.

For your information.

I've put this page online as I was unable to find any online references, apart from a couple of photos on the AWM site, to the 52nd Field Park Coy. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who knew my father. The details all come from two re-union leaflets found in my father's papers.

The 27th annual re-union was held at Redfern Town Hall on Friday 18th April, 1975; 7.30pm to 1am. The Hon. Sec. in 1975 was S J Cameron of 14 Greville St, Chatswood.

The 31st re-union of 1979 flyer lists the following ex-members as deceased, possibly in order of departure.
