The Association thanks Aiden Grimes very much for Laying a Wreath at Bomana War Cemetery recognising the PIB and NGIB.

What you do each Anzac Day at Bomana, Aiden, is very important and , since we cannot be there, we are very grateful that you purchase and Lay the Wreath on that special day.

Congratulations also on 102 successful crossings of the Kokoda Track and sharing the history of the PIB with Aussies during your treks.
