Although not a social occasion these photos show a very important event. They are photos of Vindi lad David Bell who helped me lay two limestone plinths at the Fremantle Cenotaph, one is for our plaque "HEROES" and the other was donated by our association to the Allied Merchant Seaman's Association so as they can also erect their own plaque. It was a long hard grind getting through the red tape but we prevailed. The plaque, as you know, was cast last September and was unveiled by the author, Vindi lad David Partridge at the W.A. Vindicatrix Reunion last November. The W.A. Vindi lads have every right to be proud of our memorial which will be seen by many thousands of people long after we have all "Crossed the Bar"

My sincere thanks go to all of the lads who made this possible, give yourselves a pat on the back lads, you deserve it.

Best wishes
Tony Harben [President]

These photos are of two social occasions we held recently. Firstly there was a BBQ on the John Tonkin Reserve and then the Christmas luncheon held at the Fremantle Workers Club. As you can see, we all had a great time with the Vindi covering the full cost of the BBQ and supplying copious amounts of wines at the luncheon.
