Ralph Edwards was born on 21 April 1919 – 100 years ago today.
Ralph joined the Australian Imperial Forces in December 1941 and was a Corporal with 14 Field Company. He discharged in April 1946. He served in Labuan, an island off the NW coast of Borneo.
He feels the best thing about serving was to help protect the Australian shores. And his secret to his long life is to eat well and exercise.
Happy birthday Ralph and thank you for your service.

Today we honour "The Rats of Tobruk' Siege where some 14,000 Australian troops fought with allies in Libya. The importance of this battle was embedded in Australian folklore as our outnumbered diggers were the first to be able to stop the German forces in the North African campaign. Nazi propaganda radio broadcasts spoke contemptuously of the Tobruk defenders as ‘rats’. In defiance, our soldiers proudly adopted this nickname and have been known by it ever since. It's important to remember the sacrifices and bravery of these heroes as we keep their memory alive in our support for veterans and their families. Lest we forget.
Our member Tommy Rice, age 51, has had a massive stroke on Friday 5 April (we believe).
He is in The Alfred. His mother is flying over from Ireland.
We would like to send our best wishes to Tommy, his children and family.
From The Committee and members of the Berwick RSL.
