  • I wish I had known about John earlier in my life as I would have made a effort to go to Gallipoli and visited his memorial plaque on Hill60 to pay my respects to him. Sad his afford and intern his death on that Hill60, turned out to be just a useless exercise in dying for some Jewish Bankers playing out their own War game to make money for themselves.
