Nik wore medals belonging to his father Dwain, who was not at the ceremony yesterday. Mrs Morrissey said both she and Dwain left the military to focus on raising a family, but they still had strong connections. Mrs Moore, whose son had also served in the air force, donned the medals given to her father for his service in World War 2. She said her grandfather fought at Gallipoli during World War 1, but never really spoke about his experiences.
