The Long Tan print, donated by Peter Dobbs, and presented to the sub-Branch from our Old Boys. The following day (Sunday) the visitors explored some of the highlights of our area in the morning. The group then gathered at our place for an evening BBQ. Peter Dobbs had to drive back to Brisbane on the Sunday, so we missed him. We spent the afternoon looking at various photos and videos from our time in SVN. More about those photos later. Pete Smith, Pete Bruce, Bob Brumm, Ian Schulz, Ray Barber, and Kevin Murpy at my BBQ shed. Watching the videos and photos. Pete Bruce, Ray Barber, Bob Brumm, Pete Smith, Chris Brumm, Kevin Murphy, and Belinda Bruce and sitting trying to look interested is Ray’s Grandson Braydon. A great catch up with good friends. I hope we can all get together again soon. Photos and videos. Lance Grimstone has done a great job with some old 8mm film taken by Brian Swift in SVN. Lance has converted it to digital, and his aim is to incorporate some of that footage into a video which he is putting together from photos of his, plus photos from Mick Long and Dick Bush. We have tried to put a name to the faces in the photos but there are some we can’t ID. Andrew Murray also sent me some photos to include as did Bob Brumm. Eventually we hope to have the finished product available to all Old Boys with a copy to the Cutler Research Centre and a copy to the 4th Regiment Historical Collection in Townsville. On perhaps a separate video, we hope to put together a collection of individuals while in SVN and another from the various reunions we have held. More details on that project next newsletter but one idea is to put all the videos/photos on a USB stick and
