Sad news Ross, but a life lived to the full. Lest We Forget.
Do you know if the memorial is planned to include military presence?
I've just received this:
The Davison family wish to advise you that a memorial service, to celebrate the extraordinary life of Tony Gaze, DFC**, OAM, is to be held in the Geelong Grammar School Chapel, 50 Biddlecombe Avenue, Corio [Geelong], on Thursday, 15th August at 2.00pm, followed by light refreshments in the Darling Hall.
Please feel free to forward this onto others who may be interested.
Apparently it will include a Spitfire flypast at 3:15pm.
