Rotarian PDG Daryl Moran “Empires Noble Son”

Daryl will be speaking about his book “Empires Noble Son”

Daryl is an excellent speaker with a moving tale to tell, about Lyle Buntine, one of our forgotten hero’s, an Australian War Fighter Pilot.

With more people reading the book and hearing the story in person, ‘Empire’s Noble Son’ is touching more Australian hearts.

My recently published book, ‘Empire’s Noble Son’ draws on the extensive and never before published correspondence and photographs of Australian 2nd Lt Lyle Buntine, MC, of 11 Squadron Royal Flying Corps. In his own words, he tells of his life in the British Army and the RFC, especially during the early stages of the Battle of the Somme in 1916, where his bravery in aerial combat was personally recognised by the King. Finally, the book places his tragic death into the broader context of Great War Australian society as it dealt with the complex issues of ‘War and Memory.’
