So many of our Fallen who were deserted, left behind are still there all over New Britain. When I visited Rabaul with my youngest Daughter Charmaine March -April 2007, to me it was just like a war zone, the way it was when I returned in 1946.<BR/>It is so wonderful to see photographs of my home land. <BR/>Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924670542270721219.post-27837210307785501092007-11-06T14:14:00.000+10:002007-11-06T14:14:00.000+10:00Oh!

Still if you are immortal, paddling around in the ocean would be a fantastic thing to do. Not for me. But great for those who, as I said, are the immortal ones. Younger than me. LOL<BR/><BR/>Really nice photographs, Jules.
