Alan Dale Lawther
"Dale
Lawther's
father, Alan
Dale Lawther, a WW2 veteran, passed away early in the morning on
New Years Day this
year. Dale had asked if the song could be played at her
Dad's funeral which I
heartedly approved.
Dale was kind enough to send me photographs of her Dad and she said,
'Everyone has commented
on your song, they
all loved it and thought it very apt.' Dale's email
touched me deeply and I asked her if I could do a web page in
memory of her Dad. Click on the
link above for the web
page 'In
memory of Alan Dale Lawther - An Australian hero'."

Barnes (Author)
The
author of the song will create a web page with video, the same
as for Alan
Lawther, for other
Australians who have served Australia in war and have passed
away. This
includes Australians who died
in war service. You can contact the author here
for information to be sent to you if you have a loved one
or family member that you want remembered in such a way. The web
page will be indexed in a special
memorial section of this website page.
"I
am taking a funeral
tomorrow of a Vietnam Vet who died last week of cancer. The
family would
like to use your song... I am asking for permission to use it at
the
funeral."
