Myself and my wife Jenni accompanied by ASAS- Q’s Mick O’Mallon and his wife Mai, met up prior to the event with our social team of Richard Johnson, who also laid a wreath on behalf of the RLI Assn Aust & NZ, and Jeff McClean with his wife Thanh. Former SASR Commanding Officer Mr Tony Young laid the wreath on behalf of the ASAS-Q, and was accompanied by his wife Roz. The service was well patronised with guests including the Governor and the premier of Queens - land, head of the RSL, heads of the three emergency services and representatives of many Ex-service organisations like our own. Dan Keighran VC was a special guest and read the poem, “In Flanders Fields”. After the ceremony we gathered at the Grand Central Hotel across from the Shrine and had a great lunch in fine company.
