#1 ...And let me take a moment to say thank you to Mr. Carr and his family.
Hopefully there will be an OFFICIAL US presence there.

#2 I read somewhere that Australian forces in WWI and WWII had an estimated 20% underage personnel. They just couldn't catch 'em all. Aussies rock! Of course, the guy who wrote the article was some sort of Psychologist and speculated that it was a kind of "island fever"... claimed it had dissipated since WWII with the dramatic rise of air travel - and better documentation. Yet, they still field some of the best fighters - with that same "go get em" spirit.

#5 My hat off to you, Mr. Caux, for your dedication. We, who reap the bounty of your sacrifices, will remember you as one of those who made it possible for us to be free and prosper. So many men died there in the Somme. So many good men that never got a chance to enjoy life, raise a family, and live to a ripe old age. So many.
