To Right a Wrong

To Right a Wrong In vain did they look in wonder In vain do they seek him still He fought for Australia his country Kokoda went, to die and kill 2 of our brave Aussie soldiers Were left off the list of the dead (20 years) Their hometown RSL elders Despised life blood they bled. Their fathers had gone to one meeting Communism seemed to help of the poor? Blacklisted even though warrior sons were beating The Japanese back from our door. So I speak of Dan Seaton and Leo Judge These men gave all that they had Fought bravely in New Guinea’s mud Printed on the honour board by Dad…. Don Johnson These Dirranbandi soldiers were left off the honor board 20 years till my father joined the RSL
