It was 45 my first M/C,I was on Crutches ( war thingy) bookie sez mate "that's a Sth/Aus Horse just escaped from the knackers yard and driven by a Sydney jockey, even in your state you could finish before him".

Fred Rainbird was a bloke serving on our ship the 'K G V'.

oh Vest! think I saw a photo of you in the 150th Cup Magazine just out.

WW2 wounded defence forces were on rattan steamer chairs under travel rugs with binoculars, form guides, and nurses. It was all so lovely and homely.
Would never happen these days.
Happy Valley does a huge Melb Cup event and all the expats go.

Ann. I was serving on HMS King George V, a 38,000 ton Battlleship which was visiting Melbourne at the time of 45 M/ Cup.
I had fallen down a hatch Sept 28, While de-ammunitioning ship before repairs could be carried out in dry dock in Sydney, the quick visit to Melbourne was an excuse to test out the ship's steering problems.
No attention from nurses in Melbourne. But an intense short lived romance was to follow in Sydney until my departure to UK Jan-6-46. Exotic memories.
