Thank you for those and the one from Adagem. Hope you had a great time and someone to massage your clicking finger as you have been quite busy. The cemeteries can be quite interesting. I have been doing the general cemeteries in Melbourne where I live and came across this one at the St Kilda cemetery from the great war. I knew all about Captain Albert Jacka (VC) (MC & Bar) and his history however I never would have known where he was buried. Captain Albert Jacka, VC, MC & bar JACKA.jpg
