Veterans share their military memories

Killarney's Tom Phillips has had his military service chronicled in a new book, along with Stanthorpe veteran Steve Flood.

THE stories of two of the region’s military veterans have been memorialised in print, just in time for Remembrance Day.
Deborah Wheeler is the author behind the historical accounts of Stanthorpe’s Steve Flood and Killarney’s Tom Phillips, who served in World War II.
The book – Tales of a Military Medal Recipient and a Lancaster Bomber Rear Gunner – has been in the works since February.
Mr Phillips served as a field ambulance officer and saw action in North Africa and Papua New Guinea, while Mr Flood was a rear gunner in Lancaster bombers.
Deborah launched the book, made possible through the support of Southern Downs Regional Council and the Regional Arts Development Fund, at Killarney Memorial Aged Care on Wednesday.
