  • Hi Reuben, I'm not related to you but somehow I have stumbled across your name this day Friday the 24th of March 2015. It's been a long time now since you paid the ultimate price for our freedom that we enjoy today. Tonight I had fish n chips with my family as a free man living in a democratic country. I also run a small plumbing business which seems to be running ok. Without your sacrifice defending our country & your fellow soldiers sacrifices we would have none of this 100 years on. I will remember you this Anzac Day mate. rest in peace
