Hello again Trish Thank you for your assistance I was quite shocked to find he had been award such honours as everyone who I have asked questions about Lesl has not mentioned this part of his life at all. Trish I am compiling a book on settlers of Blacktown as you have helped me with Les' history can I get your details so that I can add them to the content section of my book which I will say is still only in its early stages. Thank you again Hazel
