The Gloucester Valley memorial brings veteran soldiers from the Korean War back to see what they have helped to create....a peaceful stable and prosperous South Korea. For many, this is their first time back and they are amazed at the changes 55 years have brought....but 55 years has not dimmed their memory of their time here.
Talking to some of them at today's service, I heard that rugby was played throughout the war and one veteran remembered a match between the Aussies and the Kiwis on ANZAC day....he remembered the New Zealanders won by 3 points....but then again, he was a Kiwi....
