The wood carvings are very well done. Number 3 is especially haunting; I'm not quite sure why. I went to the memorial service at my local memorial...

I mentioned Flt Sgt RH Middleton RAAF in the thread on Newton VC, but he certainly deserves a thread of his own. His feat is one of the most moving...
