Default G'Day

Many Thanks for your kind greetings.

And I hope you did not mind my introduction to your group.

I actually, like what Aktungbby mentioned, about "The Red Baron".

Yes, it's been interesting, with the latest Docos about his fate.

The one we saw here in Australia, was somewhat detailed, as to the possibility, of him, being shot from below. (When I mean below, not via a plane.) As per the angle, of his injuries. where and how his plane was positioned, at the time. Records and Eye witness accounts. And who actually shot him, from the ground. (Which Aussie, it was.)

But, I think that some out there, still don't believe that it might have been possible.

And fair enough too.

Sadly, for von Richthofen, for a time, he got no rest in peace, as per his resting place, since WW1. As I know a good many of you know.

Let's hope now days, he can truly "Rest in peace".


Just before I sign off, for the moment, if you don't mind me adding this about Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi! Oi! Oi! Ha! (you say, this fast and quick, with a bit of gusto, at some sports. To cheer on competitors.)


I am sure some of you may know our General John Monash of WW1, who for a time commanded some American troops, in 1918.

And I can't get over, with a good LoLl!

All good, not ever to offend.

That the 1st Marine Division (United States) plays "Waltzing Matilda" as it's Battle Cry?

Those who came here during WW2, Melbourne must have made a good impression at the time.

For the Unit, to still use it today.

If you find the words to the song, you will find it interesting esp with the Aussie slang words, for things.

See Ya.
