Gold Coast & District Ex-POWs' Association dedication of a plaque in honour of Ex-POW doctors

The ex-POW Members of Gold Coast & District Ex-POW association with kind support of DVA dedicated a plaque to all the Doctors who served as POW's in hands of the Japanese during World War two. The plaque was dedicated to honour the Doctors for their unselfish duty and care of their fellow POW's.

The event was well organized by Mr Norm Anderton, MBE Honorary secretary of the Gold Coast & District ex-POW assoc. The weather was a big concern to Norm as it had been bucketing down a few days before. He was reassured the weather would be fine and it was, it turned out a bit too hot. A good turn out by dignitaries, Ex-POW's and visitors to witness the unveiling.

The function in the air-conditioned Burleigh Bowls Club after the service was a great treat with great food and cool drinks. Well done Norm!
