Did you hear a whisper'd"coo-ee."
Did you feel a clasping hand,
When the Christmas bells were ringing
In Australia's Golden Land?
For in my thoughts I sent them you
From the shattered fields of war
That we might meet, that we might greet,
As in dear days of yore;
And O, how distant seem those times
When you and I were near,
Ah, would the Southern Cross and you
Were shining on me here.

This little card was in the family photo album that came from Manuka. Norman was the youngest born son of the Manuka McClymont 14.
If anyone has any war history of the family we would be pleased to have it sent or emailed to us as we would like to have a war service history for family interest at the reunion. Quite an extensive list has been made by one family member already but we don't want to exclude anyone.There has been such upsurge of interest in Anzac Day and general war history and we believe it would be a good time to record McClymont involvement for future generations as a reference point.
