ON REMEMBRANCE DAY ~ LEST WE FORGET No free lunch for WWII bomber brothers who won Frances highest honour. Murray and Eric Maxton, who received honours for bravery, have been invited to a lunch with the Australian and British prime ministers, but will have to pay their own way to Canberra and meet all expenses for the trip. The brothers had received no recognition or acknowledgement for their war service up until November this year, when the French Defence Minister presented them with his countrys highest honour for bravery, the French Legion of Honour. Now in their 90s, the brothers will need support from their wives to make Fridays lunch, thrown in honour of Australian airmen who fought in Bomber Command and attended by Britains David Cameron and Australias Tony Abbott. The expected cost of transporting each to the capital is $2,000. We believe, after the service these men gave Australia & England, these two brave men should be flown from Albany for this lunch - if you agree please comment below and wed love to also hear from Peter Watson, Member for Albany and Rick Wilson.
