"My son Alec loved Australia. He said it was finest and best country in the world and that he should never want to leave it and his dearest wish was that some day his 2 brothers, Donald and ----- should cross the water to make their home here too." (says his mother, Mrs. H. McCubbin, Bedfordshire, England) - SOURCE (www.aif.adfa.edu.au)
