Noted Hunter Valley author and bushwalker Powell really appreciates how fortunate he is to be around. Armistice Day originally marked the momentous day on Novem(or 11/11/18) when the artillery guns on all sides finally fell silent in what was then ironically described as the Great War, or the "war to end all wars", claiming millions of lives. And today, almost on the eve of the old Armistice Day, now marked on calendars as Remembrance Day, seems an appropriate time to re-tell this largely unknown family tale. Take Greg Powell, of Valentine, for example, whose story stretches way back to World War I (1914-18) and is quite remarkable.
