Toast Remembering Tigers Past

[popcap]

A day late because I was away from the computer studying, but still - in remembrance of the Tigers players who fought and died for us, as fans and Australians. Thanks from a younger generation. Lest we forget.

And none better than the mighty Bill Cosgrove, who with 13 others escaped Java (that had been overtaken by the Japs) in a lifeboat traveling 1500 miles in 44 days to Australia.

But he was a typical smart Aussie and managed to find a thousand cans of beer for the trip.

Always remembered for the Tiger caricature on his planes fuselage with the words “Eat Em Alive” on one side and “Up There Jackie Dyer” on the other.

A great Tiger, and Aussie.

Sad, he was shot down and killed in 1943.

[edit- 30 escaped, but 14 were in his lifeboat]
