Post by FreddBloggs »

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we shall remember them.

Thanks, Fred. Hopefully I'll get there next year.
If "The System" is the answer, who asked such a bloody stupid question?

We had our usual ceremony on Monday.
The guest speaker at the Liturgy was a sapper Colonel from our next door neighbour - Gallipoli Barracks. He made mention of the sacrifice of the Papuans in New Guinea in WW2 - & I could see several of our boarders who were from there were moved.
More than a few of our boys are from families of current or past service people so Anzac Day resonates strongly.
