  • Im the daughter of Tony Lionel Trewern, its a real Honor knowing that my dad and many others fought a horrible war, and i love going through the photos and hearing the stories about the good times over there, even though it would have been hard being over there they still did it the Kiwi way, with a smile and a great sense of humor. Saving that 9ft python from the mine field would have been an experience, seeing the photos that go with the story is pretty awesome!
