Had a chance to visit the Australia National War Museum.

The Vietnam static display was the best I ever seen.

It had sound, lights and wind.

I left a patch.

The Australians are true Warriors. I will go to war with them anytime.

Their MDMP process has something that we should adopt into our MDMP, IMO.

In Sydney, there is a fountain dedicated to the men who fought at El-Alamein.

This was special for me since I found a helmet at El-Alamein in the Australian sector.

Hi Chap

 

Glad you enjoyed your visit to the AWM!

 

It is an awesome place!

 

It is a place all Australians should visit as a child, as a young adult and then take their children there in time.

 

Australians might then appreciate the debt we owe to the previous generations of our service men and women!!

 

Regards Dutchy

Dutchy,

The city of Canberra was empty but when we went to the museum it was packed.

The local people we encountered seemed to understand their role in history and in the present.

I took a trip down to visit the museum many years ago when I lived in Sydney. It was well worth the trip. Reminded me a lot of the Imperial War Museum here in London.

 

Thanks for posting, brought back some memories.

Great Museum, thank you for the pictures. Thank you for the pictures of El Alamein, too. Found two weeks ago the report of General Weber, German Army, copies from his original documents his family has dealing with his fighting in Africa. Africa is not part of my interest, but own some copies from Operation Torch, and now the german side of war.
