Foxy, 'touche'.

Foxy,

It was a gift from Professor Peter Lawrence of the Dept. of Anthropology at Sydney Uni. when I was one of his Undergraduate students.

It is a Coprolite, or fossilized poo, not a rarity (about 10,000 years old) and not worth much in monetary value, but I treasure it as a memory of Peter.

There are plenty for sale and one can buy them already polished.

& still there is no comment on the actual subject of this Post. Steelie is very quite.

I'll try again.

I guess the whole "Offensive Military Iconography" thing is now Mute Point.

After consulting with the Troops of 1 R.A.R. (Past & Present) at the 50th. Anniversary of the Battle of Coral & the Presentation of the Citation in Townsville earlier this month, General Morrison has had another think & withdrawn his Directive on Iconography.

No comment from anyone. Why is that?

They're down in their foxholes or more likely Rear Eschelon Bunkers!!

Anyone see the bit in the papers lamenting the few women thar make it into the Infantry; not enough Amazons.

<Just 72 of the 152 women recruited to be infantry soldiers who started recruit training at Kapooka managed to pass the Basic Course. Of those, 24 were able to complete the infantry's basic initial training Course at Singleton. 10 have been posted to 1 R.A.R. in Townsville. I saw them while I was there.">

All have been posted to Battalion Headquarters, none to Sections in a Company. Why is that? They won't have to go out in the field.

<I still haven't see a comment from the RVH's about the Gun Truck Iconography.>

Waiting, waiting. PVH's, Cat got ya tongue huh?

Very poor showing for this Subjects discussion. Don't you think.

The PVH's hijacked & deflected the Conversation with their own agenda when they the felt they were losing control of the Subject matter. Again. Don't you think?.

Dear Is Mise,

Thank You for explaining.

I understand your fascination with fossilized items.
though not of turds. But now I inderstand that it
reminds you of your teacher and friend.

I'm a collector of amber - which is as you know
fossilized resin of pine trees (now extinct) that grew in
northern Europe millions of years ago.
And I have some really
beautiful pieces - some very unusual ones with
fossilized insects trapped in the pieces.

I also have some fossilized separate pieces of fish
relics that my godparents sent to me from Calgary
in Canada. My grandsons are fascinated with those.
