When I first started mucking about with homepages, the idea was to have some fun and games. However, as time has passed and things have come to hand (and puter), some things have come to mean a bit more to me than just fun and games. This Section is one of them.
I suppose that there are many Baby-boomers out there who count their lucky stars that we were born when we were. There are probably many out there who have a similar family story to tell, just as there are many for whom World War II remains a deep and dark secret at worst, and Hollywood's view at best. (yep, no mention of British War films, cause they USUALLY got the facts CORRECT!!)
John Oliver Millar for many years never said anything about his time in the Royal Australian Air Force. He attended ANZAC Day dawn memorial services regularly, but it was not until about 1990 that he started to want to know for himself just what happened. Using the FOI Acts in England and Australia, a flood of de-classified information, which combined with his memories and some memorabilia lead him to sit at his old remington typewriter and labouriously combine it all on paper, faithfully transcribed. ( Twenty seven years of two finger typing of labels on prescription medicine may have increased his speed and accuracy, but the old typewriter had a habit of sticking)
The following pages, some of which will be slow to load as they have large image files, go someway to explaining the opening on my homepage. They are also a record of one man's humanity.
You are reader 
of his story.
