Anzac Day has come and gone once again. 87 no longer marches under our own banner here in Brisbane owing to depleting numbers, (what with natural selection and people moving to different areas, our numbers are very small) so nowadays we march under the general banner of the Army Transport Association, and at the post march function tables are allocated to separate groups.
This works well for us at the moment.
The only members from 87 Transport to actually attend the Brisbane march were Ted Baulch, Cliff Hodgson and Glen Hutley,
I dare say others may have attended local services within their own local communities.
As for the Brisbane March, the weather was absolutely perfect, glorious cloud free sunshine and not too hot or humid. A great turn out of well wishers and general public.
Here in Brisbane OHS and some of the other goody goody two shoes organisations have insisted that diggers over 80 cannot march (without signing a waiver) and must ride in an assigned vehicle.
I volunteered one of my vehicles for this duty and it did a couple of laps of the march
.
I take my gunbuggy in the march and carry a few of our old truckies around. This year you may recognise Ted Baulch in the rear, along with Paddy Herron (1 Pl) and myself and Paul Clements in the front.
