  • Dear Keith, I am your great, great nephew. I am learning about the ANZACs at school and Grandad Penny (Jack) your brother has just celebrated his 90th birthday where you and Russell were talked about and remember by those who knew and loved you. I want to be in the airforce when I am older just like you were. Thank you for fighting for our country and our freedom. Love,Ethan
