Air Commodore Sir Hughie Idwal Edwards, VC, KCMG, CB, DSO, OBE, DFC (1 August 1914 – 5 August 1982) was a senior officer in the Royal Air Force, Governor of Western Australia, and an Australian recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest decoration for gallantry "in the face of the enemy" that can be awarded to members of the British and Commonwealth armed forces. Serving as a bomber pilot in the Royal Air Force (RAF), Edwards was decorated with the Victoria Cross in 1941 for his efforts in leading a bombing raid against the port of Bremen, one of the most heavily defended towns in Germany. He became the most highly decorated Australian serviceman of the Second World War.
The Fremantle Prison - The Convict Establishment (Fremantle, Western Australia) is lit up a night with a changing array of colour. In April 2019 I visited the prison on a dark stormy night to record the colours. This shot was of the wall alongside the ramp leading up to the gates of the prison. The convicts not only built the wall and ramp they had to walk it to.
Today the Fremantle prison UNESCO world heritage site.
Cool picture, Don.
