Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor

I wish to compliment the Office of Australian War Graves (OAWG) for what they have been doing to commemorate the war service of Australian veterans. 

I have been in contact with the Office of Australian War Graves on a number of occasions when I have been requesting commemorations for deceased Australian ex-POWs. (All deceased Australian ex-POWs are eligible for an official commemoration from the OAWG.).

I have found that the officers at the OAWG have been very helpful. I remember when working for DVA (1978–2006) receiving good feedback from veterans. This was much appreciated. 

Best regards 

Patrick Bourke

Thank you for your kind words, Patrick. This year, the OAWG marks 50 years of faithful service to those Australians who lost their lives due to their war or operational service – and to those they left behind. You can read more on page 28 of this edition.
