Pte. Mervyn Ross 1040 & Diary of Pte. James Ross 4693

Saturday, July 3, 2010

Just over a week to go, and the brain is in heavy duty organisation mode. So many things to arrange and remember. Have given plenty of thought about what to pack, and I hope it will fit the requirements for the coach tour.
Got my official Royal Invitation from the Duke of Kent yesterday, requesting the pleasure of my company at the Fromelles ceremony. On the back of the invitation, I am advised that dress requirements apply......lounge suit or blazer, if you please. Hadn't planned on that. Need to somehow include some semi-formal stuff in the wardrobe.
The tour company tells me that I should be dressed for muddy treks through various battle sites. There's no changeroom on the coach, so it might be a case of striptease in front of the rest of the passengers and crew. Oh, dear.

  1. Surely you can just put your 'good' clothes on in the morning and wear them to the ceremony, and then maybe take some other clothes? But if not, I'm sure you can just wear your good clothes in the afternoon to the memorial park and various cemeteries? Anyway, I'm sure once you get there, logistics like these will not even enter your mind!
