gibsonm Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 To those of you from Australia and across the ditch. I'm taking a group of soldiers over to a beach in western Turkey in a couple of weeks. I've been before (I have a relative at Quinn's Post) but I was wondering if any of you wanted poppies etc placed at any particular locations? Ari Burnu Lone Pine The Nek Quinn's Post Chunuk Bair Cape Helles Suvla Bay Are already on my list of destinations but I'm happy to add if needed.

Mace Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Since I had a great Uncle wounded as soon as he stepped out of the boat, somewhere along the shoreline would be nice. Mace PS My bet is that this will be moved to the general forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Any chance you'll be stopping at the Ortona cemetery in Italy on the way??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 As far as I am aware my only relatives to make it into the AIF were in the Middle East, which is obviously now off limits. Thankfully though, none were hurt. I had an uncle who was captured in Crete in '41. Another who served in Bouganville and Borneo. So while I appreciate the thought, I am not personally involved. My family was a lucky one, that while many did serve, all returned. If you would care to lay a single one at the general memorial, in memory of all those who were not as lucky and who went and did not return and to which we owe so much, it would be appreciated.
