Coral-Balmoral is one of the battle honours on the colours of the Royal Australian Regimemt.
12-15 May was always a big week in the Battalion where we commemorated all those who were lost. The old diggers come back, we did a parade, a few other events and of course a good drinking session with the old fellas. Was fantastic to talk to those fellas who were there.

That's excellent to hear JT, but isn't it a sad indictment of our short collective social memory that the remembrance of such gallant contributions is limited almost exclusively to the units and Diggers who were directly involved.
Another related issue that should be addressed is the shameful way veterans are virtually abandoned by the governments who sent them into harm's way.
No flash lifetime 6 figure pensions for them, that's only for those ",brave" enough to shine a seat in Canberra.
