Read Wikipedia for Trade Minister Colonel Sir Thomas White KBE, DFC (1888-1957) for the full story

White was the member for Balaclava (Vic) in PM Joseph Lyons United Australia Party (UAP) government in the 1930’s.

He served in the Militia for 30 years from 1911 in peace time and was in the Australian Flying Corps (AFC) in WW1 and the RAAF in the UK in WW2 training aircrew.

He even did some sorties over Europe even though he was in his 50’s during WW2. His post WW2 community activities here in Melbourne were extensive too.

A love that blossomed when I met,to me, the greatest Jew of all – Yeshua -and cascaded when I visited Israel in 1986. I rejoice and pray for the great celebration Halleluyah
