Australia


SYDNEY : AUSTRALIA.  SWAP CARDS only. 

  " NO LONGER AVAILABLE "                                    "  NO LONGER AVAILABLE."

This is the latest release maxi cards commemorating the Centenary of the end of World War I. This is a wonderful commemoration a great tribute the the mant thousands of young Australians gave the supreme sacrafice. This unbeleivable conflict left so many small towns allover Australia almost and in some caes completely devoid of their men folk. Women took on all the neccesary duties to keep the country up and running .Australia at this time had only a small population and this war tore the guts out of Australia..One cannot but have the deepest feeling for these soldiers and nurses that suffered so badly..And I will be one that will stop at 11 AM on the eleventh day of The eleventh month for the minutes silence in respect...LEST WE FORGET.
These set of maxi cards are first day of issue in Canberra (ACT ) for the centenary of  World War I.
