    Jean,
    This is a fitting tribute to the men lost and the first time I’ve seen it. Thank you for collating it.

    I wonder if you remember me – I am Bill & Joan Street’s daughter, Barbara. My Dad was with the 14th Battalion, I believe, I have a photo of his certificate from the King if it helps this site.
    Best wishes to you.
