    3. Hi, Just a note to bring to your attention, the Milne Bay Military Museum, originally HQ for 11th Light Horse, Toowoomba, then the headquarters of the 25th Battalion, The Darling Downs Regiment, now will undertake family research of your ancestor if he/she served in either of the two great wars we didn't have to have. You will need the serial number of the person and his/her name for them to send for the details. They do not have them on site but can get them from the Archives for us, (saves a bit of paper work on our behalf). There is a small fee involved. Please contact the Museum at P.O. Box 94, Toowoomba, Qld, 4350, for more details.......PS I have no connection with the Museum, but think it is lousy, that they are having some much trouble with government red tape. They are attempting to stage a re-inactment to mark the 60th anniversary of the march our troops made from Cabarlah to Spring Bluff to catch the train to Brisbane and from there to " hell's entrance" - the war back in 1942 but getting nowhere from all levels of government, and the local defence forces in so far as co-operation etc and promotion, so I'm told. Cheers Jim
