The weather was again kind to us as it had been for the 55th. Following breakfast we made our way to the Arboretum to meet with old shipmates and friends from the other Associations. With only 120 allowed into the Chapel some judicious juggling took place to ensure all of our veterans and the close relatives of those that died in China had a seat. That left around 45 of us in the sunshine on the terrace outside taking part via the public address system. It worked well. |
