Coral Reunion - Brisbane 2022
Published Fri 03 Jun 2022
The Brisbane reunion was very well attended with about 80 veterans and family members present. It was good to see numerous veterans from the supporting arms present.
Congratulations to Jazza, Bruno and their team for a well organised event. The venue and ceremony were excellent.
I have numerous photos to post and will do so in the coming days.
SPECIAL EVENT
The special event for the day was a commendation certificate presentation to Eddie Hughes, Chris Johnson and Dennis Walker for their action at FSPB Coral on 16 May 1968.
The presentation was done by George Hulse.
This was the culmination of a lengthy process initiated by George for recognition of individual acts of gallantry following the granting of the UCG.
