Message:   Julie,
Hi!-I,ve just come home -to a lonely house -from ANZAC Parade and have had a wonderful memorial day with Kiwis -Brits and even Ozzies[!!~] and we stood ,and shed a quiet tear for all the lads who never came back from all Theatres! You should have seen the medals swinging to-day! Two of my mates here in NZ-got the Suez medal -and one gave his to an Arab boy in the cook-house and the other a Mancunian Madman -said I could borrow his for the Parade!! Our lads are all so proud of their medals and I was a bit peeved as I missed out by a couple of weeks as I left for home in early October ,51!! AND -The original Suez medal was issued "from 1918 to 1964" -I think it is hardly worth worrying about-"Tiddler" -like me -and Many others was there-The MOD "Criteria' is laid down and we will never change it! It is of no importance -Julie-We all know "Tiddler" was there and so be it -It is Glory itself! Take care -my dear- The "Powers that be" have made a few blues in their time- C,est la vie-Most of all -Who Cares?! Bless You -and yours-Jack.
