Epigraph: Steadfast, serene, immovable, the same/ Year after year, through all the silent night/ Burns on evermore that quenchless flame/ Shines on that inextinguishable light. (from 'The Lighthouse', Longfellow)
-
Dedication: In memory of my parents and all those of their generation who contributed to the freedom we now enjoy./ It was their blood, sweat and tears, that guaranteed our Australian heritage through those cruel and apprehensive years of World War II./ By their courage and sacrifice, the precious light of freedom remained safe and bright, even on the darkest night.
Affiliation Notes
