Unassuming WW11 commando presented with message of thanks

THE stories that Mackay man Joe Wills can tell about his service during the Second World War have been heard by very few people.That’s because this unassuming man chose to stay quiet about his experiences as a commando fighting the Japanese in New Guinea.The 93-year-old has clearly not had the recognition he deserved though I was able to rectify that in some small measure this week by presenting Joe with a Certificate of Appreciation.
