I lift my hat to all who fought and contributed to the war in the Pacific. My Dad was born in 1919 in South Australia and was in this group but was not allowed to go to war because he was a toolmaker which was a protected industry. He made naval guns and bofours anti aircraft guns in Melbourne Victoria. He passed at 94 years. We will remember them. The greatest generation for sure. Regards, Kevin.
