Remembrance Day At Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital

Friends of the Odd Bods attended the service held on Friday 9th November at the Austin Hospital/Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital and rekindled our strong association with this site. 

An Odd Bods plaque is located in the memorial gardens of the hospital while the old Odd Bods banner is proudly displayed in the foyer. Links to Odd Bods co-founder and past Secretary, George Smith and past President, Walter Eacott ,can be found on the walls.

Current President, Bruce Waxman, and Treasurer, Gary Elliott, attended this years service and we thank them for these photos.

Artistic Tribute On Remembrance Day

The end of WW1 is celebrated on Remembrance Day 11th November in many ways including the Friends of the Odd Bods participation in a service at Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital last Friday.

But an English artist has created a display in a Slimbridge Churchyard that has emotions running around the globe for its stunning portrayal of soldiers standing at their graves. The life-size figures of 11 men have been placed in Slimbridge churchyard in Gloucestershire.
