Getting prepped for the dawn service tomorrow brought out a scarf I got ages ago as I thought it fitting to wear it for the last year of the war in 1918.
Dad's medals come out on this day and whilst not on the proper mount are as my brother had them before he passed away suddenly at the age of 43 so I leave them alone.
The shirt they are attached to was made by the Bravery trust which started them in 2014 with an initial 1000 shirts by ballot only all the monies went to the RSL and XLH brigade.
Then they went through the first fleet up to this one all are different but for the cause of us never forgetting.
Sadly Glenda passed away in 2017 who's embroidery business was doing them as it was her original idea and it morphed into a huge undertaking as she underestimated the demand for these shirts which are numbered with ones ballot No. and have a COA signed by her.
So they will not be done again and if they are will not be original to the person whom started it.
"We Shall Never Forget."
