Tristan's reflection
Remembrance Day is a time to remember people who have died or suffered in their service to Australia.
On 11 November, our family remembers my grandmother's beloved brother, Tom Kyle.
He joined the RAAF in 1941. He served as a pilot with the RAF in the UK. On a Berlin bombing mission with No 7 Squadron on 25 March 1944 (577 Allied planes in total that night), Tom's plane was one of 44 lost.
He is commemorated at Hamburg Cemetery, Germany. I cherish Tom's 1943 diary.
