A recent posting on the Branches Facebook pages noted that our Derek Holyoake was one of several veterans who were honoured and thanked by the Prime Minister at the Commemoration Service to mark 75 years since the end of the war.
As many would know, Derek served in WWII, including on HMAS Hobart when it was torpedoed. He continues to make a wonderful contribution to Canberra and the region.
