During World War Two, Trooper Al Gofrey promised his three friends, Doug Tatti, Ben Lappin and Jack Dillon that he would fly the Australian flag for them and remember their names for the rest of his life.
Al is no longer alive, but his smiling face in his driveway under the flag he loved and his friends’ names can be seen at Air Kaca in Morotai, an island on which Al served as a water carrier in 1945.
