Chap15 Posted February 1, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 1, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chap15 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share #15 Posted February 1, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chap15 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share #16 Posted February 1, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy357 Posted February 1, 2014 Share #18 Posted February 1, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

king802 Posted February 1, 2014 Share #20 Posted February 1, 2014 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. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backtheattack Posted February 1, 2014 Share #23 Posted February 1, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
