Lest We Forget

[Angela Harlem]

"They shall not grow old,
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun,
And in the morning,
We will remember them.
Lest we forget."

May you have a meaningful Anzac Day, Down Under-ers,

foray

 

[Angela Harlem]

ANZAC day is a rememberance day for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers who landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula on April 25, 1914 in WW1.

 

[brettig]

On the 25th of April 1915, ANZAC troops (Australia New Zealand army corps) landed at Ari Birnu or Anzac Cove on the Gallipoli peninsula, the 1st action Australian and New Zealand troops saw in world war 1. The Campaign was a series of blunders and heavy casualties, but the Anzacs earned a great reputation for their courage, ingenuity and skill as soldiers. Every year since that 1st landing, its anniversary has seen a day of remembrance In Australia and around the world for Anzac troops who served and those who were killed/injured in all wars before and since that landing...dawn services and veteran's marches are held around the country, while many Aussies make a pilgrimage to Gallipoli to view the site of the campaign...

That is a chilling movie- especially the final scenes- it really does display the futility of war.....anyway the 'diggers' are legends, lets just hope that the French dont build that stupid airport runway- idiots....
