Brian, I feel compelled to write to you and express how much I have enjoyed your Voices of Australian Veterans. It is an excellent example of all those who have served in our Armed Forces for Australia in many different areas and ways.
You outlined which areas they served in, either Navy, Army or Air Force and then their return to civie street. It was of great interest how they adjusted after serving. Most of course, married and started to produce the next batch of veterans! I was able to introduce you to some of those who served before you wrote the book and their inclusion in it, was very much appreciated by them. I have also met many other veterans who served and all appear to be well adjusted and enjoying life with all its ups and downs since serving their country.
You are to be complimented on the way you have presented the service of these eighteen individuals and their adjustment back into civilian life. Voices of Australian Veterans does this very well and I hope I assisted you in some small way to complete the book. My help in the production of this book makes me very proud.
What a privilege it was to have met you through our sub-branch of the RSL many years ago and now able to present, with you, Voices of Australian Veterans.
George Churchward
