They shall grow not 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.

Well remembered

Trevor

You must be a day ahead of us as usual, it is still 24th April here.
Watched an interesting documentary last night on TV about Irish fighters in Vietnam. Not quite as long ago as Gallipoli. [What did you think of the Mel Gibson movie?] Always surprising how young everybody was when they paid the big price.

An interesting comment from one ex-combatant was that military cemetaries with their rows of stones or crosses and grass offer no clue to the way each name died. Many would be quick, others could be 24 hours of agony in the field. The graves all look the same. Horror glossed over.

So let us spare a thought and a prayer for the suffering of all the young boys Anzacs and others who gave their best and paid a steep price. On all sides.

Joe

Ozzes and Kiwis, fought together, died together on the battel field.
Now we live together and fight each other on the football field.

LEST WE FORGET.

A thankfull Ozze.
