I would like to inform the list about my brother John Wright and me Miles Wright we emigrated to Australia from Whitehaven with our family in 1961 we were both called up for national service by the Australian government. john in 1965 and miles in 1968 we served in South Vietnam in 1966 and1969/70 in the 6th Battalion and 5th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment respectively. British boys have always been in the ranks of Australian armed services-Boer War-WW1-WW2-Korea-Malaysia emergency and no doubt many young men from Cumberland have served with the Australian armed forces. I hope this information that Cumbrians have served and died for dominion and/or commonwealth countries in the service of the British empire/commonwealth is thought provoking. cheers miles wright Subject: [CUL-COP] ADMIN: Remembrance Day, November 11th > As a form of remembrance, you may wish to post names or > biographies of any Cumbrians killed in action. > > I suggest that this should include not only the dead of the wars > of the 20th century, but also those of previous conflicts; and > any Cumbrians who may have been caught up in recent acts of > terrorism. >
