Our clients have been telling us how much they appreciated our wellness calls during the recent pandemic.
It was during one of those calls that we spoke to former Commando, Private Harold Vernon Durant who mentioned his ‘Dawn Driveway’ commemoration for Anzac Day.
Harold is 98-years-old and has very limited vision but was keen to share his life story with us.
