Plans to relocate the B11 replica and memorial park gates have triggered the FHSM into action.

The FHSM President Dr Michael White OAM and KC and his retired Qld Supreme Court justice wife Margaret are traveling down from Qld especially to discuss the proposal to convert the Holbrook Memorial Park into an IGA car park. They will be joined retired Commodore Terry Roach AM (submariner, ex Capt of Otway) to assist in putting the case for retaining the memorial park to officials.

The following recent Border Mail article provides details. We are hopeful that you might find time to support Michael and his team on or before he arrives in Holbrook on the 19th April by sending a note to Morrie Jeppessen, the HSM Curator and signing his online partition on Facebook. Morrie Jeppesen can be contacted at :
