We have already linked these two sites.
Please check out our links page.
This is a very informative site, about a Battalion of brave, couragous men, who fought their battle with the Japanes in another sphere of warfare.

Thanks for your wonderful site. I discovered it looking for our 26 Battalion Association site (see My URL) that spasmotically appears in search engines. It would be great if you could include a link from your site.

I have been greatly moved by your website in honour of the 2/26 Batallion. It brings home the great sacrifices made by these brave people.
I am researching the background of my mother's family. Patrick Armitage Lawrenson QX17244, pictured twice on the site at
http://www.2-26bn.org/photo_gallery_2.htm
http://www.2-26bn.org/photo_gallery_4.htm,
was my second cousin once removed.
His father, Reginald Robert Lawrenson, was also a soldier, succumbing towards the end of the first world war. He was a Lt-Col serving on attachment to the Highland Light Infantry in France. He is buried at Etaples, France (where I now live) and I hope to visit his grave in March. Patrick was born in the West Indies where his father served in the West India Regiment. Reggie is recorded as having been injured in the 1907 earthquake. I have Patrick's mother as either Dorothy or Doreen and their last known whereabouts in Toowoomba. I presume that both, alas, are now dead.
I am not aware of any children of the marriage but perhaps there is a former colleague who knows different. I would be delighted to hear from anyone who has memories of or information about Patrick.
Kind Regards
Colin Moore

My Great Uncle was QX14152 Robert Buchbach who died on the Burma Railway with F Force in 1943. I found your site a source of much information for myself and my family (my father is still living). Many thanks. Dave Aspland
