Thank you, Diann and family for setting up this heartfelt tribute to Uncle Robert. I so enjoyed the photos. There is one photo of Uncle Robert playing the trumpet next to a young man playing a coronet. The young man playing the coronet is my father, Robert's brother, Don. I had never seen this picture before and did not know that my Dad played the coronet. I also did not know that Uncle Robert's band instructor in Plainview was Mr. George. I started playing the flute in 1955 at age 9 and my instructor was also Mr. George. All the things that we don't know! That is why a site like this is so special. It seemed somewhat ironic that I was introduced to this memorial on the 75th anniversary of Uncle Robert's death. A hero who made the supreme sacrifice.

I would like to thank my daughter, Jacqueline King and my granddaughter, Emma King for helping to set up this memorial for my Uncle Bob Couchman. Jacquie also set up my Dad's memorial page; Forrest Couchman. Many thanks to them for their expertise.
Words cannot express the heartfelt thanks to my Uncle, knowing he gave his life for his Country and giving the opportunity for me and my family to have the freedoms that we celebrate everyday.
