Cabar Feidh

Seaforth Veterans and their caregivers, Left to Right, William Stoker with Caregiver Leslie,
Jack Rossiter with caregiver Val and Jock McStay. Jock’s caregiver, John Cameron, is the
photographer
Margriet is a straight shooter by any
measure. The concert itself was a
wonderful success and ended with
our National Anthem and a heartfelt
rendition of Miss Vera Lynns’ “We’ll
Meet Again”.
Accalades to DVA Staff and
Caregivers
We WW2 veterans, now
mostly aged ninety or more were,
wisely, mandated by DVA to be
accompanied by a caregiver to
assure our safety and ability to
endure the demanding schedule. In
our cases it was a son for Jock and a
daughter each for Jack and William.
Our Seaforth team of three plus
three was a winning combination of
friendship and combined support.
Our Report would not be
complete without expressing our
gratitude to the Department of
Veterans Affairs and in particular, all
of their staff. Their organisation of
the event plus the personal care and
support that each of them provided,
with fun and good humour each and
every day, was truly outstanding.
The flowers and blooms
given us are all gone now, but
the memories left with us are
everlasting and especially for us
old soldiers, who have lived to see
the gratitude of so many folks in the
Europe that we helped to liberate
so long ago with the sacrifices of too
many old comrades left behind, or
who are now gone. Bless Them All.
Jack, William and Jock.
