My first time at a Dawn Service today up @ Blackboy Hill in WA. What a touching experience it was.

I have driven past the memorial several times a week for years and never visited.

I will be going next year again and bringing my boy as well.

I also went to The Anzac service for the first time, remembrance for The Australian and New Zealanders who die at Gallipolli first world war.  Also in remembrance for our other fallen.
Let us not forget that 30,000 British and 10,000 French also died at Gallipolli with 8,000 Aussies and over 2,000 Kiwis.

...and a verse taken from
"For the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon (1869-1943)

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.

Lest we not forget.....

Also, let's not forget the young men and women who today are still deployed on foreign soils....and those that have lost their lives.

Dawn Service has allways been a tradition  in our family. My husband and son  were service men as were  my father and his father and his father who both fought in WW1. 

Every year  we give thanks and say many a quiet prayer for those still serving and  those gone before.

I  remember in my  thoughts each year  my Great Uncle Arthur William Shoebridge who died at Gallopili  27th August, 1915. My Grandmother named my father after him.

There would not be too many Australian families who didn't lose a family member in WW1

We will remember them.
