I will depart Australia the day after Anzac day where the roll of honour will be handled by the deceased families at the SAS barracks in Swanbourne Perth Australia. After attending the Players championship at TPC Sawgrass in Florida where a high profile golfer will escort the ROH I will leave NYC and travel to Spain on the 18 May.
I am stepping off in SJPDP on the 20 May escorting the Roll of Honour (Afghanistan)
The Roll of Honour details the 41 young Australians who died on ...Active Service in Afghanistan. In the centenary of the ANZAC’s, the Roll of Honour will be escorted to 41 prominent places and events around the World, laying 41 Poppies at each location. To date, the Roll of Honour has, with architect of the Event, Brian Freeman, summited Mount Everest, ran from the Tip of Cape York to the southern most of Tasmania, including kayaking Bass Strait in Winter, crossed the Kokoda Trail, summited Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, sailed the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. It will continue its journey’s to the South Pole, the English Channel and battle sites of many of our Australian Soldiers through all theatres of War. My privilege, Mick McQueen, is a 890Km journey from the French Pyrenees to the Compostela de Santiago, where the Roll of Honour will be blessed in the cathedral before making the final journey to Finisterre and poppies laid in honour of these brave heroes. The names of the Fallen will then be attached to 41 individual Poppies and cast adrift on a foam capsule. I hope to meet and enjoy the company of people from all country's and walks of life to assist in making this a memorable journey for the departed. Thanks for all the info on these threads, being a 30 year Infantry veteran I have made only one demand on myself....Nothing camouflaged. Buen Camino !
