Remembrance Day 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month

 With Remembrance Day on Wednesday the timing is perfect.

My grandfathers gravesite now has a proper headstone honouring his service and sacrifice for Australia.
 
 
 Grandpop as I knew him (Thomas Dalgleish MM) was awarded a “Military Medal” for “Gallantry Under Fire”, but his gravesite in Nambour Cemetery in Queensland was unmarked.
 
 
 I only found this out by accident about 2 years ago while looking into the “Norden Project” 
 https://www.projectnorden.org/ 
and then researching his gravesite.
 
Both grandma and grandpop are buried in the same burial plot in the Nambour Cemetery.
 
 
The “Military Medal” award original, was only discovered, when Aunty Freda Dalgleish found an old biscuit tin in Uncle Bill’s shed after he died. 
Aunty Freda allowed me to have a copy for which I extremely grateful and proud to have, to honouring our grandfather. 
 
 
Since finding out that grandpop was awarded a “Military Medal” I purchased a replica set of what would have been his medals and have proudly worn them to each ANZAC DAY and REMEMBRANCE DAY as a mark of respect for his service and sacrifice.
 
 
This is part of your family heritage and deserved the headstone the Australian Office of Wargraves proved. 

We Will Remember Them  Lest We Forget

On Remembrance Day, please stop an honour your family members, who sacrificed for this great country of Australia
