Blue read the lesson in the Sunday morning church parade. Above are a couple of the pictures from the weekend, with more to follow. Karen did a great job with the photography.</span></div>

The Diggers were at <a href="http://www.thevictoryshow.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Victory Show</a> again - 6-9th September 2013. This year as the 2/30th Battalion in the early war
period in Malaya and Singapore. The 2/30th were the last
battalion to be raised for the AIF and were short
lived being posted to Malaya where they fought the Japanese, withdrawing to Singapore and spending the
rest of the war in captivity in Changi. The 2/30th website is located

Taking turns between manning a section of trench (not quite deep enough for our liking!) and showing troops at rest in a field of bell tents the Diggers stood alongside <a href="http://www.themanchesters1914-18.org/" target="_blank">The Manchester Regiment</a> and the <a href="http://gordonhighlanders1914-18.co.uk/index.html" target="_blank">Gordon Highlanders</a>. Plus on the Sunday the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/D.squadron/" target="_blank">Lancashire Hussars</a>.<br />
<br />
The battle - over a realistic length of ground, but not churned up by years of shelling - was a spectacle, troops arrived by an original Albion truck on Saturday and by an original Thorneycroft on Sunday. D Troop, the Lancs Hussars provided a scouting party. Blue, Joey, Digger and Vic provided a contrast to the British troops (the Manchesters Serjeant was wary of coming past as he was introduced to 'two-up' in an effort to relieve him of his meagre wage). In contrast to last year when the show was almost completely washed away by heavy rain we basked in sunshine which gave the trench a distinct Gallipoli feel.<br />
<br />
The weekend also gave Blue a chance to run out his Light Horse kit.<br />

We have been invited to participate in the World War 2 Living History area along with representatives of most of the major combatant nations covering various theatres and time periods. Our team will cover four of the theatres of operation that saw Australian Army involvement. These include Crete 1941, North Africa 1942, Kokoda (New Guinea) 1942 and 1944/5. We are there on the 29/30th June.<br />
<br />
You will also be able to attend talks by leading historians such as James Holland, Max Hastings, Neil
Oliver, Dan Snow and many others covering a wide range of subjects from
the ancient world to modern times.<br />
<br />
There will also be an exciting airshow on the Saturday afternoon. We hope to see you there.

Nice and relaxing, promenading about like a pair of cockerels. A
visit to the pub was greatly received where we met Gary, an Aussie who
was in the Army Reserves like Snowy was. We heckled the
Sufferegettes and gave some rise to the 'Kilted' Foot and Mouth
regiment. All in all a good day out for the Diggers. Next event is The Victory Show.<br />

We had an excellent position in the forested area. A portion of the Kokoda Track was presented to the public, which was very well received with many being unaware of this important part of Australia's military involvement in WW2. Here is a small selection of photos of the event with more <a href="http://s997.photobucket.com/albums/af93/BarryD5000/Diggers%20Living%20History%20Group/">here</a> and some more here on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/34645666@N02/sets/72157627593401666/">Flickr.</a><br />

<span class="Normal-C6">The <a href="http://www.thevictoryshow.co.uk/">Victory Show</a> at Cosby held in the first week of September. </span>We will be located in an area in the wood where we can depict the AIF/Militia forces in the jungle campaign against the Japanese Imperial Forces. We may make this a generic display as regards to uniform, equipment and weapons covering 1942-1945 from the Kokoda Track, Shaggy Ridge to Balikpapan etc.<br />
