Frank MacDonald Memorial Prize 2023

My name is Don Ryan (Jnr) and Cyril was my Great Uncle. I have visited Cyril’s grave twice, once on a personal trip to France, and the second time in 2023 as the official representative of RSL Tasmania on the 2023 Frank MacDonald Memorial Prize Study Tour.

Both visits have been moving and emotional. During the FMMP visit in 2023, I did a presentation about Cyril to the tour members when we were at the cemetery, and left a copy of it at his resting place.

Many family members have ‘visited Cyril’ over recent years; he will not be forgotten.
